ately, I nd myself singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat twice while washing
my hands. I denitely think twice about stepping outside in a thunderstorm.
And I feel queasy every time I attach a document to one of my e-mails.
Why? Youll understand after watching the winning 2015 Top Training Videos
(Ttvs)visit http://www.trainingmag.com/training-magazine-announces-2015-ttv-winners
and see the article and photos from the awards ceremony on
pp. 56-57.
Indeed, video seems to be employees learning method of
choice these days. According to a recent survey of 1,800-plus
employees conducted by BizLibrary, respondents said video is
more effective than instructor-led training (ILT), virtual classroom sessions, and traditional click-and-advance e-learning
when it comes to teaching new things, improving performance, and preparing employees for the future (see p. 9).
Employers do seem to be getting the message: According to
Training magazines 2015 Training Industry Report, video is
one of the most used training technologies (see p. 12 for training video tips).
In other Industry Report news, we saw training expenditures soar 14.2 percent
to $70.6 billion in 2015 as mergers and acquisitions increased the number of large
companies in the U.S. (see p. 20 for the full report). In keeping with that positive
trend, average training salaries rose 3 percent to $83,494 in 2014-2015, according to
Training magazines 2015 Salary Survey (see p. 40). We look at what a strengthening
economy has meant for training investment on p. 34 and examine why only some
organizations invest in their human capital as a key business strategy to improve
their productivity, performance, and prots (see p. 38).
One organization that recently made a signicant investment in training is car care
company AAMCO. The company invested more than $1 million in a new learning
management system (LMS) and the creation of AAMCO University, a state-of-theart training facility in Newnan, GA, that opened in February 2015. We view training as an investment, not a cost, explains Rob Rajkowski, COO. We wanted to
align our training strategy with our ve-year plan and use training as a strategic
foundation for growth. Rajkowski and other AAMCO leaders recently gave Training magazine an exclusive tour of the new facility and detailed their amped-up focus
on learning and developmentsee p. 50 for the full story.
As I write this Editors Note, Im watching Game 2 of the National League Championship Series in which my beloved Mets are battling the Cubs for the chance to enter
the World Series. I have to admit Im glad my Mets nally decided to invest in their
talent development this yearand even more glad to see it paying off! Hopefully,
that magic continues for a few more games after we go to press
Speaking of magic, I hope you will join me in Orlando February 15-17, 2016, for
our Training 2016 Conference & Expo (www.trainingconference.com). It promises to
be an amazing event, where well imagine the possibilities and collaborate to innovate with our Training Top 10 Hall of Famers and keynoters from Backyard Brains,
Cirque du Soleil, and Pixar.
Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and magical holiday season. I look forward to
seeing you in the Magic Kingdom next year!

MESSAGE DESIGN
relationship, even though your learners may appear invisible. Eye contact is the most powerful
way to connect. If youre using a teleprompter
or cue cards, position them as close to the camera lens as possible. If it doesnt feel like youre
looking at viewers, they wont engage. Maintain
eye contact slightly above the center of the lens,
never below it.
VISUAL STAGING
Many people ask what they should wear on video. Heres a rule of thumb: Avoid black and white,
as well as bold, bright patterns, stripes, and logos.
This competing imagery draws learners attention away from content. White reects too much
light, and black can cause the speaker to be absorbed by a dark background or dark furniture.
Solid, muted colors work best on-camera.
TECHNICAL QUALITY
Many people minimize the importance of technical quality for video. There may be some truth
to good enough, but with a little more effort,
you can produce higher-quality video, giving
greater credibility to your message. Technical
quality includes good audio, camera equipment,
lighting, and more. There are a few simple things
you can do to ensure better technical quality:
t -JHIU UIF TQFBLFS XFMM GSPN UIF GSPOU Good video requires lots of light. Pay most attention to
lighting your speakers face. Viewers dont want
to see the speakers face in shadows. Good lighting separates the speaker from the background.
Consider using an inexpensive LED light placed
near the camera directed at the speaker.

Focus on Myanmar
Myanmar learners are highly motivated to learn. After class, they asked for
additional reading material to better develop their skills. BY STEVE COYLE
ur Malaysia-based training company was
selected to help a new Myanmar telecommunications company launch its service.
It had paid billions of dollars for the rights to a
15-year license and wanted to capitalize on this investment quickly. The training need was to get their
local staff up to speed in working in a modern telecommunications company within four months.
The company was hiring between 100 and 200
locals per month, most of whom could speak
English. In addition, the company employed expats from 50-plus countries in a variety of skill
areas to assist in the launch. One of the license
requirements was that within 10 years, the company must employ 95-plus percent locals.

Yangon is the countrys largest city, but its largely undeveloped. There were no McDonalds or
KFCs when we were there. Im sure in 10 years,
it probably will be unrecognizable. Still, its interesting to see how the locals live as it is likely how
our grandparents once lived. Myanmar has had
economic sanctions on it for most of its existence,
so the place looks like it is stuck in a time warp.
This time warp also may explain why the people
are so nice.

The Bogyoke Market is an interesting

Focus on Ireland
The Irish government champions and supports
training for its citizens. BY DR. NEIL ORKIN
reland is known for its beautiful scenery. Its
coast has been featured in countless movies
and books.
In recent years, companies have done business
here for many reasons. The Irish are hard-working
people and very literate (99 percent literacy rate).
Irelands main language is Englishand it is valued in both its spoken and written form. Ireland
has had its share of famous authors, including
James Joyce and playwright Samuel Beckett.
This serves as a major benet for North American trainers, who do not need to translate their
training content, and can maintain their typical
language and speed of delivery.
In addition, Ireland is a member of the
European Union. This opens up many business opportunities in Europe with minimal red
tape for organizations operating here. North
American organizations that do business here
are well positioned for future growth. For many
years, Ireland had the fastest-growing economy
in Europe. It experienced a downturn more recently, but business is slowly improving, and the
future is bright. Irelands highly educated population is skilled in manufacturing higher-order
products, including telecommunications and
pharmaceuticals.
Irelands population is slightly less than
ve million. Because of its relatively small
population, Ireland needs to export products to truly grow its economy. There is an
awareness that workers require a higher skill
set to compete in the global economy. Irish
companies can earn far higher prots selling
nished goods as opposed to commodities.
Training is needed to allow this change to
occur. Businesses will benet from manufacturing products, and exporting them worldwide.
Irish companies have strong reputations and are
highly regarded for high-tech products.
The Irish government is willing to invest in
the countrys business future and attract new
global organizations by providing them with
a favorable tax situation. It also champions
and supports training for its citizens. Training
is needed in topics such as customer service,
