In certain matters, I’m a very skeptical person. I don’t always believe everything that big corporations claim or promise. I’m sure the majority of people hold a similar opinion.

So, when Google wanted to create a video on diversity in its workplace, the search engine giant decided to make ‘trust’ the key element of its approach.

How? By having real employees talk about their experiences in the organization.

The audience, including prospective employees and the general public, gets to see firsthand how Google’s diversity policy plays out in the real world.

15. Grafton Group: Communication Inside the Company

A bitter truth my grandfather learned the hard way: internal corruption can kill a business.

Sadly, decades ago, businesses didn’t even think of training employees on ethical behavior.

Nowadays, businesses can use training videos to educate employees on unethical behavior, how to spot such acts, and how to respond to sensitive situations.

This video by the Grafton Group uses storytelling to educate its employees on this important subject.

Instead of lecturing its audience, the video uses storytelling to depict serious situations and scenarios involving fraud.

The video also guides employees on the right action to take if they witness fraud in the workplace.

16. Burger King: Grilled Dogs with Snoop Dogg

Who wouldn’t want to watch a training video featuring Snoop Dogg? This Burger King video on making grilled dogs is a lot of fun to watch.

I guarantee Burger King employees would watch the video at least a dozen times: a few times for Snoop Dogg’s hilarious and epic use of dog puns, and to learn the nuances of grilled dog making.

Snoop Dogg’s casual explanation is a laugh riot and also the highlight of the video. That said, you don’t need a celebrity to grab the attention of the audience.

The use of a clever script and a pinch of wit can go a long way in engaging and educating the employees.

Key Takeaway: The use of a charismatic trainer and a hilarious script makes the information more memorable.

17. Media Partners: The Right Words at the Right Time

I have seen many cases where customer service training with PowerPoint presentations and long lectures has failed to yield positive results.

Take a cue from Media Partners, create videos with real-life scenarios, and throw in some laughs to engage the audience.
