The fruits of corporate learning are plentiful, and the seeds include various ways of sharing information, like using training videos for in-house and remote teams; circulating company policy, compliance or other important information; and sharing knowledge about an industry.

Using videos in corporate learning enhances the overall content and experience for employees. An additional benefit is the increase in individual recall of information due to the picture superiority effect and its relation to associative recognition. An easier way to put it? Images are processed 60,000 times faster than text, so the power of video is even greater, and there are plenty of ways to use video technology in a corporate learning environment.

Try creating training videos to ease the learning process and avoid information overload. Explain standard and new organizational policies, ensure compliance standards are known and followed throughout the workplace, or train new remote workers easily using a database of interactive and non-interactive video content.

Having employees contribute to a weekly video is another way to enhance corporate learning. Establish a team to create videos together for a weekly newsletter, focusing on a topic related to the organization. Have a team create microlearning videos on an important topic that the entire staff should know about, or make an appreciation video for the team member of the week.

Introduce new employees to your organization using videos. Provide a video on your organization’s history, mission and vision, and introduce the board of advisors and other key individuals to help new employees learn about the company. Share industry knowledge by presenting new innovations and breakthroughs using a video. Analyze competitors to learn more about your market and educate your team on optimizing the organization, or share outcomes and results of important board meetings and research studies.

You can also use video to enhance traditional PowerPoint presentations. Include a video on every few slides, completely replace PowerPoints with videos, or use PowerPoint to introduce a topic and video to explain it in detail. Create an interactive dialogue with employees by adding questions on screen and pausing the video for input from the audience.

Promote collaboration, innovation and teamwork by inviting employees to contribute their ideas to a video and present it at a creative meeting. Using ready-made videos on various topics to quickly brush up on a topic or skill needed for a project is also a quick and simple way to learn necessary information in a short amount of time.

Learning never grows old, and using videos aids in learning will never go out of style. Using video technology to enhance corporate learning can only contribute to an organization’s success.
