Employees need continuous learning to keep up with market demands, emerging technologies, and evolving customer expectations. Skills-based learning—focused on practical, applicable knowledge—has become a priority for organizations looking to improve workforce agility, productivity, and retention. Marketing executives, HR leaders, and learning & development (L&D) teams must rethink how they deliver training.
Traditional training methods—text-heavy manuals, static presentations, and lengthy in-person sessions—are no longer effective in engaging today’s workforce. But there’s a challenge: how do you make training engaging, scalable, and cost-effective while ensuring employees actually complete it?
As the demand for upskilling continues to rise, organizations that adopt AI-driven training will gain a competitive edge in workforce development. HeyGen is redefining the way businesses create, distribute, and optimize skills-based training content by making high-quality video production faster, more affordable, and accessible to all organizations.
Companies like Sibelco use HeyGen to streamline content creation for its L&D team and reduce training video production costs by €1,000 per minute.
How HeyGen skills-based training videos improve education
1. Higher engagement and knowledge retention
Studies show that video-based learning is far more effective than text-based content. Employees are 75% more likely to retain information when it is presented visually and audibly compared to reading a document. HeyGen training videos make learning more interactive and engaging, leading to better outcomes.
2. Rapid, cost-effective content creation
