Do you know how much employee turnover is really costing you? The Society for Human Resource Management estimates that it costs over $3,500 to replace one $8/per hour employee. That number is staggering, but consider how much time and money you put into recruitment, interviews, hiring and training. It makes accounting sense to try to retain your current employees. But first consider this; poor training has been identified as the number one culprit of lack of performance from employees and the top reason why many new employees quit. In fact, only one of every two employees thinks their employer has adequately trained them to perform their jobs.

Do you feel that your work force is appropriately trained for their jobs? Since training is the first thing a new employee undergoes at your company, don't you want to make a good impression?

Creating a video training program can be cost effective for your business. By creating one or two videos that you can use again and again, you will be saving the time and money it would normally take to train a new employee. By using corporate training videos, employees will better understand their specific job role and how it fits into the larger company scale. This will increase both productivity and motivation from your new employee and reduce employee turnover. Also, training videos are 100% customizable and can easily fit into any established training program.

Have you considered using videos to help train your new employees? Corporate training videos come in all shapes and sizes and will suite any size or type of business. However, training videos may not be right for your company. Take time to examine your company's turnover rate, effectiveness and overall employee success before deciding what would work best.
