## Communicating the Basics
When a new employee joins your organization, they can often feel overwhelmed with the amount of new information presented to them. Help new employees put their best foot forward by simplifying and presenting key information in an efficient and eye-catching manner. Animation allows you to use creative metaphors to illustrate complex workflows or relationships intuitively.
Our [Onboarding Slideshow template](https://www.videoscribe.co/app/template-preview/9pKg8XwYju59pSmK2VQ6O/) is designed to help share the key information each new hire needs to learn when they join your company. Using this template you can ensure that your new hire understands basic requirements and procedures promptly but also in a friendly and welcoming manner.
## Personalization and Accessibility
Animated videos can be tailored to different departments or roles, maintaining key information but personalizing based on role or location. Personalization enhances the employee experience, can drive better performance, and strengthens company culture overall. Our videos can be easily duplicated and edited to suit role-specific information or be translated or localized with different information, ensuring the content is accessible to all employees.
Animated video also allows for on-demand learning. Training videos can be hosted online and accessed anytime, giving employees the flexibility to learn at their own pace or repeat online learning when needed.
## Engaging Training
Animated training videos can be used to effectively illustrate safety protocols, compliance requirements, or other regulatory information in a way that’s both informative and entertaining. This can keep employees attentive to critical yet often dry subjects. Use our [Employee Training Template](https://www.videoscribe.co/app/template-preview/1bwOCLWXgvRo94SeuP3g07/) to break down training content into more digestible modules and make information easier to remember.
Once you have edited a template with your company information or created a training video from scratch, it can be used repeatedly for different onboarding sessions or team training. This ensures consistent messaging and reduces the time and cost associated with live training. An animated video can also be shared with employees worldwide, ensuring that everyone receives the same high-quality training regardless of location.
## Real-Life Examples
Animated videos can be used to illustrate real-world situations. By using animation to incorporate common or relevant scenarios into your training you can enhance learning outcomes through storytelling. Use animations to show correct and incorrect ways to perform tasks. This visual guidance can be much more impactful than verbal or written feedback alone.
## Boosting Brand Identity
Many of our onboarding templates feature sections that introduce new hires to your company's values, mission, and culture. Animation gives you the flexibility to creatively represent your brand personality. With VideoScribe, you can upload your your company's colors, fonts, and imagery. Using a consistent visual style across all your training and onboarding content helps reinforce branding and creates a cohesive experience for employees. Our [Digital Security](https://www.videoscribe.co/app/template-preview/KkxwqE0Abny7XkRR21EYn/) template is a sleek and professional looking way to share vital technology and security information while maintaining a distinct brand identity,
Generally, integrating animated videos into your training and onboarding can create a more engaging, scalable, and effective learning experience for employees.
