In
today’s hi-tech era appropriate use of video conferencing can actually act as a
game changer for companies around the world. Recently companies specializing in
education and academic programs are leveraging this technology to offer virtual
training classes to students as well as to their internal employees and
trainees. Candidates who are preparing for overseas examination and other
competitive exams often end up attending online classes and participating in
webinars through this technology. That is not all. There are also companies
that organize online interviews with short listed candidates using this medium
to save time and get the job done in a smooth way.
Previously,
there were instances when organizations use to arrange an employee training
session at a specific location asking their trainers and employees to be present
at a particular date and time. Things
today are changing with new technologies coming in. A seminar hall or a banquet
space selected for the training session has a limit to which it can accommodate
people. However, with advanced video
conferencing tools and techniques a company can increase their count of
trainees and the virtual space is unlimited. Furthermore, online tutors and
trainers too can use this technology to train more than one candidate. Other benefits include the following:-
·
When a company organizes a training session in a
particular venue there are chances that certain employees are unable to attend
owing to specific causes. However, if the same session is conducted online,
then employees can attend it from being present at home. Sometimes the distance becomes a problem as some
people have to come to work from remote locations.
·
Also when a training session is taking place in
a particular venue, the company needs to incur costs like price for the site,
logistic costs like stage, podium, projector, lunch or high-tea and other
similar expenses. Even if the training session is being held at an office board
room then the price of AC and electricity is unavoidable. With video
conferencing technology all these extra costs can be taken care of. The trainer
is logged in through a room which makes use only of the required electricity.
The company need not take on the price for the attendees.
·
Today this type of conferencing through video is
considered progressive and new age. Therefore whether it is an academic
institution or a company, making use of this technology can make a brand attain
competitive edge over other market players.
Furthermore,
with the recent developments in software technologies and workstation
solutions, video conferencing rooms are well equipped with all the required
equipments and tools like log in procedures and others necessary to conduct the
conference in a streamlined manner. The discussions and training take place in
a systematic format and there are also scopes for question and answers as and
when required.
