For the majority of professionals this year, the traditional bustle of career life has shifted to a slower pace of working remotely, with pivots like conducting business meetings on Microsoft teams, Zoom or other similar platforms, and client video calls rather than in person pitches. It is safe to say that it was a change that came quickly and threw many operations for a loop. Now, eight months down the line, the novelty of this new normal has worn off and many employees may be becoming less engaged, resulting in a negative impact on a company’s internal communication and making it harder when trying to collaborate as a team. In fact, a recent survey carried out by Facebook revealed that due to working remotely, employees feel disconnected, leading to limited exchange of ideas and innovation.
With this in mind, organisations need to find better ways to help engage and support their employees. Some companies took this time to use this pivot in operations to redefine collaboration, internal communication, and project management with a variety of SaaS tools and new processes. One recent development in this space is the integration of simpleshow video maker into Microsoft Teams. This alliance is set up to help easily improve company-wide collaboration, communication and culture through video, keeping employees engaged in a refreshing environment.
Exploring the impact of Explainer Videos
If you haven’t adopted explainer videos into your operations, now is a perfect time to consider a shift. When exploring the benefit of explainer videos, you will see the positive effect they have on learning. A study carried out by Microsoft found that the average human being has the attention span of eight seconds. Therefore explainer videos are a new way of keeping people engaged for short periods of time, explaining complex topics in under 3 minutes. It has been found that marketers who use videos are seeing (on average) 49% faster growth in revenue. This shows the impact explainer videos can have on keeping employees attention with quick and entertaining videos, rather than long presentations or text heavy resources.
