They are also flexible and let your people train ‘on the go’ and at their own pace – and it can save you money too. So what’s not to like?[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Here are 5 reasons why we think that switching to video-based training makes sense.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”1. Our training videos are engaging” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]We like watching videos. In fact, a recent survey found that 75% of staff said they’d be far more likely to check out video lessons than they would be to read printed documents, emails or online articles.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”2. Using video is time-efficient” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Researchers estimate that video-based training can get information across in about half the time of printed material. Staff can also use video to train on-the-go using their laptops, tablets and phones – meaning they’re spending less time away from their desks.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”3. Video cures information overload” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Studies suggest we are bombarded with 5 times more information than we were thirty years ago – and that’s a lot of data to process. Video helps to condense information and make it easier for us to digest and understand.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”4. Training films save money” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]IBM managed to shave a massive $579 million off their training budget simply by switching their sales training from face-to-face sessions to video-based training – and removing the costs of travel, accommodation and time spent away from the office.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”5. Video is effective” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]We remember visual images much better than words. Research shows that 80% of what goes into our long-term memory comes from seeing and doing, not from reading or hearing – which makes video the format of choice if you want real results.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” url=”https://s3.amazonaws.com/skillboosterscatalogue/index.html” text=”Go to catalogue”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Our training films come in these formats” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_flip_box text_color=”dark” icon_color=”Accent-Color” bg_color_2=”#f8f8f8″ text_color_2=”dark” h_text_align=”left” v_text_align=”top” flip_direction=”horizontal-to-left” front_content=”Short film”]An essential overview of the key learning points of a topic in a 10-minute film.

How are you managing your GDPR compliance requirements?

GDPR added a significant compliance burden on DPOs and data processors. Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours, each new data processing activity needs to be documented and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) must be carried out for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Penalties for breaching GDPR can reach into the tens of millions of Euros.
