Human resources video production

There is no element of the HR function that cannot be advanced, improved or optimised by video.

Our tips for human resources video production

The best company culture videos include interviews with current employees. We always recommend a quality production with a professional shoot that leaves your team (your most important ambassadors and advocates) feeling important and empowered.

To get your team genuinely excited about the project (and to give them the opportunity to feed back), we suggest your human resources video is launched internally before a wider release. Smart distribution is essential to the success of any video project.

Video is an incredibly powerful medium because it allows you to create an emotional connection with the viewer.  Identify your primary audience (current employees, leadership team, candidates) and work on building that relationship.

Regardless of the audience, consider the story when developing your video’s narrative. What is the untold story that’s important to your business or this project? Is it something that can’t easily be gleaned from your website?

Every member of your team is an expert on what it’s really like to work for your company. Get colleagues to help brainstorm ideas around what the video will actually be about, what to include and what style to take.

You can hack so many parts of the HR process with video. Consider whether personalised or interactive content can save you time, streamline your HR processes, or simply leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

Video has become a strategic tool precisely because measuring every element of its impact is now possible: which parts are the most engaging? At what point are people losing interest? And have people watched to the end?

Choose a human resources video production company that understands the unique challenges the HR department faces. They should feel like an extension of your team and you should fully trust that they will be professional in dealing with colleagues and other stakeholders.
