Remote work was an already trending topic when Covid-19 hit the world in 2020. The post-covid scenario has made remote work a necessity for almost every corporate. In such a situation, without face to face interaction and lessons, training employees has become increasingly difficult. But there is an option that can help take the friction out of your training process. Say hello to training explainer videos.
Below are 5 reasons you need explainer videos for training as your employees work from home
1.Videos alleviate the boredom of text-based training
Videos are more entertaining to watch and understand as compared to text and images. No matter how well made your PowerPoint presentation is, it’s still likely to pale in comparison to an animated explainer video. There are various kinds of explainer videos – animated ones with interesting characters, text-based whiteboard videos, stock footage videos, and motion graphics videos. Choose the style best suited to create your training videos based on what you feel will resonate with your audience.
2. Videos allow employees to learn at their own time and pace
Through this asynchronous learning method, employees watch and learn from the videos at their own pace and in their own time. Videos also have additional tools and capabilities such as pause and resume playback from the last watched position. Employees can even watch videos on the go on their mobile devices and iPads, helping them save time.
3. Longer videos can be segmented into shorter modules
You can cut down each long video into multiple smaller episodes or weave many short videos into one master video, depending on what your narrative demands. Some hosting platforms even enable managers to keep track of which videos each employee has watched and how much of each video they’ve completed. You can analyze which videos have repeat views as well. YouTube also provides analytics on which part of your video was the most engaging and where drop-offs took place.
4. Interactive content can be added to your videos
An interactive video is well suited to deliver training. It has the potential to take each learner on his own journey by showing him each subsequent video based on his chosen inputs. There are softwares which can combine a host of videos into an interactive experience. These softwares choose the next video to be displayed for each viewer based on the specific option he chooses.
5. Videos provide for better branding opportunities
Your employees are as important as your customers in terms of brand development. Highly motivated employees can do a lot to improve your company’s prospects. Videos provide employers a wide canvas for branding opportunities. If done well, training videos can combine training with branding and advertising.
