What is a Training Video?
A training video is a visual tool used by organizations to train, educate and instruct employees. These videos contain step-by-step instructions, explanations, and examples that enable new and existing hires to acquire new knowledge or develop skills in specific areas.
The content or context of your employee training video may depend on what your company aims to achieve, the employee’s skills gap and training needs and the resources available. For example, companies can create training videos for different purposes, including:
- Onboarding
- Coaching or grooming top talents for key positions- succession planning
- Job aids or quick reference guides
- Product or service training
- Skills Training
- Compliance and regulations
- General training
These videos often use a combination of visual elements and styles, such as live-action footage, animations, graphics, and text overlays, along with accompanying audio narration or commentary.
