Video-Based Training to Revolutionize the Logistics Industry

Struggling to bring new warehouse and fleet employees up to speed? Want to avoid package handling and shipping errors? Not able to track your training to verify their effectiveness? You are definitely not alone. Most organizations in the logistics industry manage thousands of employees. Training for logistics employees is a must if you want to stay ahead of your competition. But that is easier said than done.

The days of face-to-face classroom learning are long gone and not just because of the pandemic (though that certainly played a major role). Most logistics companies have warehouses and fleets spread across the globe. It is not cost-effective to conduct physical training for logistics employees in all these different locations. Plus, it is much harder to track the effectiveness of these traditional courses. In this digital world, there is absolutely no need to have these drawn-out slow-paced lectures. You also won’t need to engage your best employees in bringing the new employees up to speed.

A variety of different logistics training courses can be conducted online. Go for a smart online training and learning video platform like VIDIZMO to create a secure internal YouTube-like course library. Not only will trainers be able to conduct recorded live sessions, but they will also be able to upload self-paced on-demand training videos for logistics employees to view anytime, anywhere, according to their schedule.

Logistics Training – Why Is It Required?

There are a variety of trainings conducted by logistics organizations for a variety of purposes, the most critical of which are:

Overcoming the talent gap

In the next 15 years, an estimated 1 million truck drivers will be required to replace the retired truck drivers in the US alone. This is a crisis in the brewing if new employees are not trained well. It is also critical to show better growth prospects to the younger generation for this industry to bring in more talent.

Meeting compliance requirements

There are multiple regulations by government agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT). It is critical to conduct appropriate employee trainings to meet these logistics compliances.

Ensuring employee safety and protection

Fatal injuries in the UK’s warehouse and logistics industry have risen by 23%. Inadequate health and safety procedures and lack of effective training are putting logistics employees in grave danger.

Improving productivity and increasing revenue generation

Providing appropriate training will ensure speedier, more effective employee onboarding and upskilling. This ensures higher productivity and ultimately increased revenue.

Ensuring customer satisfaction

Package handlers are also provided customer service training for improved customer satisfaction.

Above all else, utilizing an intelligent training and learning video platform like VIDIZMO will allow you to streamline all your training content in a centralized platform accessible by your global teams. Everything can be organized neatly in different categories and cued up in various playlists.
