Poultry Farming Training Videos Minimize Training Costs & Improve Outcomes

As a poultry farmer, providing proper training is essential in order to minimize costs and improve outcomes across your farm. With poultry farming training videos, a host of other potential benefits may also be experienced across your farm including reduced employee turnover, and improved economic factors such as increased productivity, lower Workmans’ Comp insurance rates, and generally stronger employee morale. 

Advances in training video production, particularly the use of interactive features that further engage employees and help them to be more interested and appreciative of the training that they’re receiving are providing added benefits for poultry farmers. In fact, poultry farming training videos that include interactive features such as gamification have even been found to potentially reduce poultry processing labor turnover by turning employee personal performance goals into a little bit of “healthy” competition among workers.

At Beverly Boy Productions, we specialize in producing top quality training videos for businesses in a wide range of industries. With more than two decades of experience in the video production industry and vast knowledge of the processes involved in creating top quality training videos, our team looks forward to helping you produce training videos that will bring your employees to the next level.

Interactive Training Videos for Poultry Farmers

Poultry farming training videos that include interactive elements, such as gamification or the use of quizzes and other forms of interactive features have been found to be incredibly effective in improving the level of engagement among employees and poultry farmers.  Engaging workers in the training that they are receiving will inspire them to do better, to have fun with the training, and to be more involved. All of these aspects are important and could be beneficial to the worker being able to recall what they learn later on when involved in actual work on the job.

There are many ways that you can incorporate interactive features into your poultry farmer training videos. Consider any of the following:

• 360° video views that create an immersive environment for your workers to learn in.
• Gamification which allows workers to engage in contests and team collaborations.
• Links and hotspots that provide guided learning and access to complimentary content.
• Quizzes that reinforce learner knowledge.

According to researchers, the use of interactive features like these, and others, when producing poultry farming training videos can improve learner outcomes and may potentially transform the poultry industry.

Training Videos Minimize Training Costs

The average employee turnover cost is about 150% of that employee’s annual salary. Training videos can minimize costs associated with turnover particular by:

• Limiting the amount of lost productivity by providing new employees with training that does not interrupt current workers or require current workers to “hand hold.”
• Limiting the amount of manager training required by providing employees with video based learning opportunities.
• Reducing the amount of time that it takes to bring a new employee up to speed so that he or she can take over roles held by a previous employee.

Of course, there are other ways that the use of poultry farming training videos can minimize training costs, too. For example, the use of training videos provides a one and done solution where costs of production to create the video are incurred upfront one time, but the training can be provided again and again to potentially hundreds of employees at that single production costs.

Poultry Farming Training Videos Improve Farming Outcomes

In addition to reducing costs, and improving overall worker turnover, the use of poultry farming training videos can generally improve outcomes across the farm in the form of increased productivity, reduced employee dissatisfaction, improved employee morale and in many other ways. With video based training, employees actually have an interest in the training that they receive. 

Video based training is more engaging, and since it’s available on-demand from anywhere and at any time, workers are more likely to engage in the training that is provided for them. Additionally, employee training that is provided by video is safe! When newly hired employees need training on things like processing of poultry including deboning or rehanging, it’s certainly safer to provide that training by video than it is to put the employee into a situation on the farm that could end in disaster.

As you can see, there are a number of benefits that can be ascertained as a result of the decision to produce poultry farming training videos that you can use to bring your employees up to speed. These videos minimize overall training costs, improve employee knowledge of essential skills and information relative to the farm, and increase employee morale. By providing essential training, employees are more comfortable in their roles and less likely to add to the increasingly high employee turnover rate that most poultry farms struggle with.
