What Are Training Videos?
Training videos are structured video-based learning assets used to educate employees, partners, or clients on specific topics.
Common Use Cases:
- New employee onboarding
- Workplace safety training
- Customer service scenarios
- Software and systems walkthroughs
- DEI and HR compliance modules
- Sales and product enablement
They can be live-action, animated, voiceover-led, or screen-recorded — depending on your message and audience.
Benefits of Employee Training Videos
✅ 1. Consistency
One video ensures the same message is delivered every time, across departments and locations.
✅ 2. Cost-Effective
Save on in-person trainers, travel costs, and repeat sessions.
✅ 3. Scalable
Distribute globally without changing your message or retraining staff.
✅ 4. Time-Saving
Reduce onboarding time and free up managers to focus on performance.
✅ 5. Engaging
Visual learners retain 80% more than from written text. Video increases knowledge retention and completion rates.
