My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing.
Due to the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus, "the lifestyle of working people" in Japan has drastically changed over the past several years.
In addition to the way people work, in-house education and training has also shifted from face-to-face and group training to digitalization, and efforts to "develop human resources with an eye on the after-corona" are increasing.
We understand that many people in charge are wondering how to implement "management strategies, organizational development, and new skill training" to survive the Corona disaster in the future.
In confronting these issues, companies must promote reforms that are in line with society and the times.

6. Summary
In a word, videos are informative and easy to convey!
Video has the advantage that it is easily remembered by people and can be viewed by many people with the same content.
Video features content that is "easy to understand, accurately conveys information, can be checked at any time, and is memorable.
When we hear of traditional training and education, the easiest way to imagine it is as a class in school.
At school, a teacher of each subject stands on the podium and conducts a class.
However, this type of lecture-style teaching can lead to educational disparities depending on the teaching ability and quality of the teacher.
On the other hand, video materials can be used to ensure a uniform level of education without being affected by the ability or physical condition of the teachers.
In addition, video materials are also attracting attention as an optimal educational tool for companies that are promoting work style reform.
What types of educational video formats are there?
Videos used for educational videos can be broadly classified into three formats: seminar, manual, and documentary.
Each of these three formats has its own unique characteristics.
When shooting educational videos, it is very important to choose the format that best suits the situation in which the video will be used.
Seminar format
The seminar format is simply explained as "a single instructor speaking to multiple participants," like a school or university lecture.
This type of video is also called "lecture style," in which a lecture-type class or training session is filmed and used as an educational video.
The main point of seminar-style videos is that they are very effective for use in "newcomer training and in-house studies held periodically each year" by a company or organization.
2. Manual format
Manual format videos are videos that explain the actual work flow and customer service.
This type of video is effective mainly in the customer service industry, such as the restaurant and apparel industries, where the majority of work is difficult to convey through text and images alone.
The point of manual-style videos is that they can be used in a variety of situations depending on the scene of utilization, such as "handling of products and services, videos that serve as instruction manuals, and videos used to help people understand the work flow of a job.
The manual format is characterized by the ability to understand how to actually interact with customers through the eyes and ears, making the training easier for new employees to visualize the real situation.
Documentary format
Documentary-style videos are videos that show the daily lives of staff members working at the company, interviews, and scenes of them working within the company.
The point of a documentary-style video is to provide "reality and storytelling.
The content is like a drama, so the audience will remember it without getting bored, and by making it a narrative video, the empathy of the employees will increase.
Video is an effective learning tool for training new employees.
Video is an effective learning tool for training new employees, as it is more memorable and significantly more effective than text.
Here are three examples of situations where videos are used: training for new recruits, compliance education, and internal operations/sales manuals.
Pattern 1: Using Video for New Employee Training
By using video for new employee training, in-house educators no longer need to secure a training location and instructor schedule each time a new employee joins the company.
In addition, it can reduce the workload of human resources who are in charge of training new employees.
When one hears the term "new employee training," the first thing that comes to mind is probably "training in business manners and basic job skills.
Business manner training generally covers the minimum manners required of working adults, such as grooming, greetings, honorific expressions, and how to answer the phone.
*As a point of video production, it is possible to deepen participants' understanding and impress them more by conveying the correct methods and information in areas that need to be explained in a focused manner, as well as by adding examples of mistakes.
Pattern 2: Using videos for compliance education
What companies want to make new employees more aware of than business manners is an understanding of the discipline to observe "laws, regulations, social norms, and ethics" related to compliance.
Examples of compliance violations include "personal information leaks, accounting irregularities, overwork, and harassment.
Once a problem occurs and is covered in the news as a scandal, it is subject to severe criticism from the public.
By having each and every employee learn the importance of compliance and raise awareness, we can create a corporate culture that prevents compliance violations from occurring.
Pattern 3: Using videos to streamline internal operations and sales manuals
Video-based training is also widely used for "sales and customer service manuals.
By utilizing sales and customer service manuals as training videos, it is possible to learn in an easy-to-understand and detailed manner the methods and ideas for each purpose, such as "sales and customer service methods, manners, and points for handling complaints.
There are so many different ways of doing internal work and necessary skills, even in the same industry.
By learning the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out work at or before joining the company, you will be able to tackle your work smoothly after being assigned to a position.
In creating videos, it is necessary to make the content easy for the participants to understand, as they may not be able to look back at the manuals in the field.
Combining video materials with e-learning makes it possible to visualize the course history.
By utilizing an e-learning system for video materials, administrators can easily check and visualize the "learning history, learning progress, and grade information" within the system to see which videos students have watched and which they have studied.
The grade data in the e-Learning System can also be downloaded in CSV format in a batch.
