Keeping Staff Trained

Whenever we ask Strata Managers what their main issues are, staff turnover always rates in the top three. Not surprisingly, that places significant overhead on those staff responsible for on-boarding and staff training. Further to this, lack of confidence and insufficient training are regularly sited by exiting employees as contributing factors.

Revolutionise your Internal Training with Screen Recording

Whenever we ask Strata Managers what their main issues are, staff turnover always rates in the top three. Not surprisingly, that places significant overhead on those staff responsible for on-boarding and staff training. Further to this, lack of confidence and insufficient training are regularly sited by exiting employees as contributing factors.

Many of our clients already use our online training videos and tutorials as part of their standard internal training. This is great for a portion of the new staff overall training requirements but does not provide the ins and outs of your specific company processes, procedures and tools. This is where we have found a fantastic tool that can help:screenr.com

Screenr is an online service which enables anyone in your office to record a video of their screen for up to 15 minutes. The service then provides you a unique link to that video for future reference.  As this is a browser based solution there is no requirement for custom installed software and the service can be easily and quickly launched when required. This would enable staff in each department to capture their more complex processes in a simple video (with screen capture and audio). These links can then be pasted into existing procedure manuals to provide detailed instructions for new or existing staff who need a refresher on a less common procedure.

The service starts from $19US a month and provides storage for up to 250 videos. A 15 day free trial is also available. www.screenr.com
