EMPLOYEE VIDEO
Video to recruit and communicate with staff
Employee video is an excellent way to communicate with staff: it’s a cost effective way of reaching large numbers of people; it’s flexible and people can watch it where and when they like; and it’s controllable, you can plan and manage the content.
And right now, communicating with employees and colleagues is vital as people need to know how they’re going to return safely to the workplace, what new working practices are in place and what changes might be happening.
Magneto Films makes online video to recruit new staff and to train, inform and inspire existing employees.
Recruitment video production
Recruitment video really helps prospective candidates get to know your organisation by featuring positive interviews with existing staff, to show more about the job and the working environment.
Safety video
Returning to the workplace during the Covid pandemic will need clear communication with staff. Health and safety video allows organisations to let staff know what changes are being made to the workplace.
Staff training
Staff training video allows organisations to communicate with large numbers of employees in a flexible and friendly fashion.
Onboarding video
Bring new employees on board is an important process and video makes it easy to welcome new team members and give them an insight into the culture.

Effective ways to use staff video
Magneto Films has more than 10 years experience in making staff video, so here’s our run down of the most common types and how organisations use them.
Attracting new staff
Staff recruitment videos are an excellent way to tell prospective employees a bit more about the organisation, the role on offer, or even an insight into the working practices and culture.
Some companies are keen to show that they have a range of opportunities, others want to highlight the benefits and satisfaction of working for them.
Staff training video
Staff training video is an immersive and effective way to keep staff up to date with latest practices, to re-affirm principles or to tackle a new project.
Video is great for letting people watch on their own time, or to be shown as part of a group exercise.
Either way it’s flexible and affordable.
Onboarding video
Staff induction videos or staff on-boarding films are a fun and effective way to introduce new staff to the values and ethos of an organisation.
They’re an ideal way to let staff and colleagues know what’s expected of them, how the company functions and also to point out the fun side of office life too.
Company culture video
Letting staff know that change is happening or keeping them up to date with the impact of a new business direction is vital for staff retention and motivation.
Video is an informal way to introduce new ideas and to provide inspiration for staff too.
