No matter your company’s size, it perpetually seems that every employee is busy with their own demanding daily tasks. And organizations using today’s mobile technology may very well have a workforce that’s physically separated, with some telecommuters working from home and others from the road. Face it: As much as you’d prefer to amass all of your employees into one room at a predetermined time to watch and discuss a training video, it sometimes just isn’t feasible. Even when you can, someone usually gets left behind to answer phones, greet visitors, or check in deliveries.

Enter Hosted Online Training, in which your employees watch the video at their own pace, from the convenience and comfort of their desk or home. It’s easy to set up, easy to use, distraction- and hassle-free, and lets your company administrator keep close tabs on who’s been watching the videos, how far they’ve progressed, and if they’ve taken the post-video quiz. Best of all, it offers each employee an identical top-quality training experience across a broader spectrum, in which they can go at their own pace, pausing for breaks or lunch and then resuming when they have time. And administrators can easily customize the Learning Management System experience by adding company-specific notices, announcements, instructions and reminders that appear like sticky notes on the computer screen below the video.

Hosted Online Training offers administrators the wonderful convenience of not having to track employee progress manually. Our software takes care of that for you. Rather than employees signing in as they enter a classroom and the administrator having to track all of that activity, our training system tracks every action employees make -- whether it be watching the video, taking the post quiz or filling out the completion certificate.

Each person watching a program has a default of six separate opportunities to view it – although that can be changed at your administrator’s request. Those six opportunities do not include short breaks. This also allows the administrator to give employees a structured window of opportunity to get through the program, ensuring a higher on-time completion rate. And by going at their own pace, otherwise late-for-the-assembly employees won’t slow down all of the other people who would’ve been waiting in a common room to watch the video together.

Hosted Online Training also offers the potential for significant cost savings. Our DVD products are typically sold with workshop facilitation and participant materials, and can run anywhere from $600 to $1,000 apiece., Hosted Online Training starts at $9.95 per person per view*. Which means that organizations can save a lot of money going this route — provided they’re looking for employees to simply watch a video, as opposed to providing a three-hour interactive group training experience (which the full DVD kit provides) .

Small organizations can get the most from their limited training dollars by giving key employees access to the CRM Learning library, without having to purchase a lot of different DVD kits. (For example, a small company could arrange to have its 10 top managers train with five different CRM Learning video programs and spend only $500.) Larger organizations can also benefit cost-wise, as our per person rate decreases at pre-set thresholds, based off the number of employees viewing the videos.
