On-Demand Video: The Future of Employee Training

Written by Karl Fauerbach | Oct 7, 2025 3:37:12 PM

Workplace learning has evolved quickly over the last decade. Employees want training that fits into their day and helps them succeed in their roles without adding extra delays or disruptions. With hybrid and remote work now common, many organizations are looking for reliable ways to share consistent information across every team and location. 

On-demand video has become a practical solution, offering flexibility and scalability while improving how employees learn and retain information. 

This blog explores how companies are using on-demand video to strengthen training programs and support a more skilled workforce.

 

Why Traditional Training Methods Fall Short

Face-to-face training still has its place, but the modern workplace can now integrate new technology to make training more effective and efficient. 

  • Trainer Time is Limited: Trainers are often booked well in advance, and finding time that works for everyone can slow down onboarding or skill-building.

  • Travel Adds Costs and Inconsistency: Travel can drive up costs, and the content itself isn’t always delivered the same way from one location to another.

  • No Opportunity for Review: When there’s no recorded material to revisit, employees lose an easy way to refresh what they’ve learned, which makes it harder to retain information and apply it effectively.

“Companies need training solutions that keep up with the pace of change. On-demand video makes it possible to deliver the same high-quality content to every employee, no matter where or when they work.” – SME expert

What Makes On-Demand Video Effective

On-demand video takes many of the pain points out of employee training. It combines sight, sound, and repetition to create a learning experience that sticks.

Employees can log in from any location, whether they are working remotely, on a rotating schedule or across multiple sites. Being able to replay key training sections makes it easier to understand complex topics without stepping away from daily work. Short, focused videos also make learning less overwhelming and help employees pick up new information quickly.

Use Cases in Corporate Environments

From onboarding new hires to developing leaders, recorded content helps teams stay aligned while reducing time away from daily responsibilities. 

On-demand video has become a versatile tool for corporate training, offering consistent and accessible learning across an organization. 

The following examples highlight some of the most common ways companies are using video to strengthen training and improve employee performance:

  • New Hire Orientation: Consistent onboarding ensures that every new team member receives the same information, no matter where they are located.

  • Compliance and Safety Training: Video provides a reliable way to meet legal obligations while maintaining clear records of completion.

  • HR Interviews and Performance Reviews: Recorded sessions help HR teams evaluate communication patterns, ensure fairness, and improve decision-making.

  • Leadership Development and Coaching: Leaders and team members can revisit coaching sessions to reinforce concepts and track growth over time.

  • Product and Process Training: Keeping teams aligned on tools, systems, and customer-facing procedures becomes easier when updates are delivered through a centralized video library.

On-demand video offers a dynamic medium that can be integrated into several facets of any organization. This provides a high return on investment for companies interested in maximizing their technology investment dollars.

What to Look for in a Video Training Platform

Choosing the right video training platform is essential to creating a practical and scalable learning experience. A strong solution does more than just record sessions—it supports engagement, security, and accessibility while simplifying the way content is managed and shared.

  1. Clear, high-quality audio and video make a significant difference in how well employees stay engaged and understand the material. When the content is easy to see and hear, learners can focus without distraction.

  2. Platforms that offer tagging and bookmarking also add value by letting users jump directly to specific topics or moments in a recording, which saves time and makes it easier to retain relevant information.

  3. Centralized access control is also important for organizations with training materials involving sensitive information. Restricting access to the right audiences protects both company data and employee privacy.

"The best video training platforms don’t just deliver content, they make learning intuitive. Technology becomes an active part of how they work and learn, rather than a separate process they have to manage."  - SME expert
