Training

Updated August 2020: As a safety adviser you’ll probably find it fairly easy to decide which content you need to show in your next safety video.

An Induction Video can save you hours and weeks of time compared with the time spent standing up in a training room and delivering a powerpoint induction.

Typically, 45 minutes of safety induction training can be reduced to a 15 minute filmed video, which in many cases can induct to a more consistent standard.

With our display screen risk assessment now in its 10th year, we’re pleased to announce the free online version 3.3 release, a comprehensive, interactive training and display screen risk assessment for display screen equipment users, including a downloadable risk assessment document when completed. The whole app is now full size 1920×1080 making viewing and operation…

The purpose of training is to make people competent for their role.

But for this to happen successfully they have to remember what you tell them.

Remembering is fundamental to training, yet we now know that up to 90% of training is forgotten inside a week

A friend’s son recently started work for a major supermarket and had to sit through 3 hours of 12 videos which bored the pants off him.

Such a total lack of motivation!

Is it the training manager’s fault if operatives forget ½ of what they’re told within a hour?

Or forget 70% of their training within 24 hours?

Workforces are only human, and that seems to be the problem.

Interactive training multimedia don’t just show or tell your workforce how to do their job better.

The whole process is designed to involve the individual, with the key word being “involve”.

Interactive training multimedia is little understood by many training & safety managers.

It seems to cover everything – from a simple training Powerpoint – to colossal interactive learning exercises.

A recent customer experience impact report by Harris Interactive found that:“Even in a negative economy, customer experience is a high priority for consumers, with 60% often or always paying more for a better experience.”

Retail customers value customer service.

Life for the training or safety manager is about achieving targets, preferably through innovation or new methods which save time and money

– and hopefully make people’s work lives easier, and not harder.
