Today, more than ever, companies of all sizes and from every industry are leveraging the benefits of corporate training to increase their competitiveness and improve their bottom line. While comprehensive corporate training programs can impact numerous areas in the organization, some of the most common use cases include employee onboarding, skills enhancement, compliance awareness, and the effective use of core and operational technologies.
A common denominator among the various companies, industries, and use cases is the effectiveness of videos for corporate training and employee learning programs. Video has proven to offer an effective and engaging method for capturing and holding employee attention while offering the greatest possible comprehension and retention.

And, also unlike classroom-based training, video content is consistent, ensuring that all of your students are learning the same material, delivered with a constant message.

Once you load video content onto your Learning Management System (LMS) it can be accessed by your students at any time and from any place. All that is required is an Internet connection. This level of accessibility enhances the learning experience and increases the value of your corporate training program.
Leveraging Video in Your Corporate LMS
An LMS serves as the foundational technology for an eLearning-based corporate training program. An LMS is the software application that is used to build, deliver, and track your corporate training program and can be deployed either on-premises or (more commonly) as a cloud-based technology offered through a third-party vendor.
Most LMSs on the market today support video as a content type for building lessons and courses. And many support the ability to upload video content to their servers (as MP4 or some other supported video file type) or hosted by third-party websites (such as YouTube or Vimeo).
