Four tips to train your team remotely via video
for small-sized businesses, adjusting to a new technology of virtual work is vital. But, there are difficulties: changing the method of training and boarding employees is one of them.
How can you greet new employees without having to go through the halls? How can you create an environment that is built on trust and autonomy but without actually committing trust fall? How can employees be taught to excel at what they do without shadowing great workers?
Learn how to use video to eliminate barriers to remote learning and make corporate comms as simple as a hammer, and all the while saving the energy and time.
1. Personalize it and remain honest
Can't meet in person? You're fine as that you keep it private. It's not necessary to read at another guidebook from the school library or an all-inclusive instruction manual. People want authentic and honest personal stories about humble beginnings, as well as an outlook for the future that you'll build with them. To help new hires really get to know the company's culture in person, a video-first approach is essential. (Not to mention it's far superior to long hours reading on their own.)
Here's a tip: try not to be too scripted when you're working. If you worked in person, you probably did not write your own line, so why should you do it now? Video performs best when it is real. Because the video is authentic!
2. Step-by-step, explain it.
The main reason you should use video for training is to help make your (and your understanding!) scalable. Instead of repeating the same idea over and over again, you can make it available with every member of your team, must show or explain, you can do it just once. If it's recorded on video, it becomes infinitely reusable.
3. Systematize and arrange
Ultimately, you're trying to make sure that every person on your team is aware of what they need to accomplish and how they can accomplish it, regardless of whether you're there to assist or not. This may sound strange, but it's the goal to ensure that you can be replaced in the most efficient way that is by educating others.
However, you shouldn't assume that the team will be reviewing each item that is sent to their email inbox. This is why it's crucial to organize and systemize the content you use for training videos. What can you do to ensure that your content is consumed and remembered? If anyone would like to bring back the process, where can they find it quickly?
4. Don't get too caught up in the production
Repeat after me: don't overthink your video. This is the essence of video! Talk into the camera in the manner as you're speaking to someone, before telling them about what they need to know about.
