Video hosting for employee onboarding is a way to store, organise, and deliver onboarding videos from a central platform. Instead of sharing files or relying on live sessions, organisations can host onboarding content online and provide new starters with secure access. This ensures every employee receives the same information and can revisit key videos when needed during their onboarding period.
Video hosting helps standardise onboarding by ensuring the same videos are used for every new starter. When onboarding content is stored in one place, organisations avoid variations in messaging that can occur with live or ad-hoc sessions. Hosted videos create a repeatable onboarding experience, making it easier to maintain consistency as teams grow or hiring increases.
Onboarding videos can be updated or replaced in Cinema8's platform without changing how they are shared. When videos are hosted centrally, organisations can update content as processes or information change while keeping links and access consistent. This helps ensure new employees always see the most current onboarding material.
Cinema8 provides viewing data that shows whether onboarding videos have been accessed and watched. This visibility helps organisations confirm that key onboarding materials have been delivered and identify where follow-up may be needed. Tracking viewing activity as well as interactions with onboarding videos supports a more structured process without requiring additional meetings.
Video hosting for onboarding is especially useful for organisations that hire regularly, support remote or distributed teams, or want to reduce reliance on repeated live onboarding sessions. By hosting onboarding videos centrally, companies can scale their onboarding process, save time, and ensure every new starter begins with the same clear understanding of the business.
