Human Resources: Announcing New White Paper: Optimising Induction Training: Reduce Costs, Improve Quality and Talent

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) July 25, 2010

Digicast Productions, a safety and induction training video production house, today released a new white paper “Optimising Induction Training: Reduce Costs, Improve Quality and Talent Retention”. Around the world, many companies train new starters and contractors ineffectively often finding it difficult to get training messages to stick inside people’s heads. This paper outlines the impact of poor induction training, the high cost of face to face training and the growing importance of including visuals in training materials.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of human learning occurs visually, yet the majority of companies produce text based induction training materials that have a 10% effectiveness rate on recall levels.

Smart organisations who regularly need to train contractors and new staff are looking for a more streamlined, engaging and cost effective way to ensure staff absorb training messages.

This exclusive white paper addresses the various pitfalls of a poorly designed induction training process and what can be done about it. The report looks at:

What current induction training programs are really costing companies
The importance of avoiding a poor safety culture
The emerging trend of using more visuals in communication
How to make training messages sticky
A little mistake that cost a Quarry $20,000 a year
