Video-based learning continues to grow as the most preferred medium for employee training. 

Why? 

Because it's far more engaging and cost-effective than other traditional methods of training. 

In fact, just by switching to video-based training methods, companies like Microsoft and IBM were able to reduce their training costs by a huge margin.

IBM was able to cut back more than $570 million in the first two years of launching its own video learning program

& 

Microsoft reduced its training costs from $320/person to $17/person.

Video Learning is the way of the future.
