Improve Employee Productivity via Online Training
Boost employee productivity throughout your entire organization.
Every day, we use software applications like Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Excel or Lotus. We also use web based applications such as CRM applications, Web 2.0 tools and corporate websites. Yet many of us are not aware of software features within these products that could simplify tasks that are performed many times each day. By sharing knowledge of commonly used applications, employees and management can immediately become more efficient.
With the BlueTrain software, employee training is no longer a challenge. Even if you do not have a qualified instructor or formalized training content, knowledge that impacts performance can easily be shared with each and every person within your organization.
BlueTrain takes the physical aspect out of providing employee training. Regardless of a person's physical location, they can participate in online employee training and knowledge sessions from the comfort of their desk. By eliminating the physical challenges and by providing all the tools required to organize and deliver live hands-on training online, productivity gains can be realized with very little effort.
Put the focus back into Employee Training, not Travel
An afternoon of training should not consume three entire days.
Traffic jams. Rain, snow and fog. Flight delays. Expensive flights and accommodation costs. Wouldn't you like to say goodbye to all the hassles and expenses relating to the trip and put the focus back into training?
Using BlueTrain, training can be delivered online to each employee's desktop anywhere an Internet connection is available. No longer do employees need to waste time, money and effort on the trip, because getting to the training session is simply no longer a factor.
In today's world, employees are recognized as valuable assets, It's a broadly accepted fact that providing employees with more education on key products and processes will help them become more productive. But an afternoon of employee training should not cost the organization three days of employee time, travel and accommodation expenses.
By delivering online training to employee desktops, the focus will stay on the training and never the trip. Since time previously wasted on travel never occurs, productivity gains are instantly realized--even before the training session starts. And since flights, accommodation, meals and other expenses are eliminated, cost savings will be significant.
BlueTrain's virtualized training software is similar to traditional training. It is live, visual and interactive. It can be ad-hoc and on demand, with the general rule that anyone, if you allow them, can be the presenter or trainer anytime. Verbal group discussions can also occur (telephone not required), conversations will feel normal, just like traditional employee training where everyone is in the same physical room. But unlike traditional training, the trainer has complete control over the environment, from forcing "View Only" mode to allowing a full blown free-for-all discussion, it's all under the trainer's control.
Participants do not require any training to participate, as they will become comfortable within minutes of joining their first online training meeting. Trainers will find the product intuitively simple and comfortable to use. Especially since online employee training can be as simple as showing how.
Formalized training content can also be presented. For example, when presenting a PowerPoint slide show, a remote mouse pointer can help engage the audience as to which point is being discussed and a full compliment of mark-up tools such as dropping a check-mark or circling an important point are at your fingertips. As well, when performing any type of presentation, the trainer can appear on the web cam simultaneously.
Delivering highly interactive, effective virtualized training to employee desktops is easy using WebTrain's online employee training software.

VoIP Audio makes Employee Training Easier
Save even more money by using our VoIP audio.
WebTrain's VoIP audio is included in all of our offerings. It is the undisputed best, no one can match the speed, quality or versatility of our VoIP audio.
When using our built in VoIP audio feature, a telephone is no longer required because audio is played on each participant's PC speakers or headset.
This feature eliminates long distance charges, expensive teleconferencing costs and telephone juggling. It also means that for dial-up participants, they can talk and listen without being forced to use an additional telephone line which might not be available.
WebTrain's VoIP audio is crystal clear, better than a cell phone. It is crystal clear for all participants, even for participants that are using a dial-up connection. And audio delivery is fast, with delivery within 200 ms, conversations feel normal just as if everyone was in the same room.
Since BlueTrain has optimized audio transport and delivery, when presenting slides, using the webcam or transferring files to participants, audio never lags or gets choppy because audio packets are mixed within the single SSL (secure) data stream.
A single microphone can be used, or each and every participant can be passed a headset which enables them to talk to the entire group at anytime. There is no need to wait for "queuing" or buttons to press, simply talk when desired because our full-duplex VoIP audio has built-in voice activation.
Our solution allows you to control all aspects of the audio, from muting participants, changing participant microphone volumes on their behalf, changing room playback delay, changing a setting to eliminate echo, we've made it easy for anyone to tweak settings to compensate for real world situations such as background noise or an over-taxed Internet connection. For the best VoIP audio, BlueTrain is the undisputed champion.
Private 1:1 conversations are also supported. BlueTrain is the only provider to offer private verbal conversations while group conversations are occurring. This enables the trainer or cohost to talk to an employee privately, even during a group conversation or when someone else is performing a presentation. You can also talk and be heard when participants are playing music or multi-media with sound because our VoIP audio utilizes the mixer, allowing for multiple streams of audio to be played simultaneously.

Manage the Complete Employee Training Cycle
The complete solution, all included free.
At BlueTrain, we realize that providing employee training is more than just delivery. Much effort is expended organizing the course, informing people of the offering, performing and managing the enrollment process, collecting feedback and more.
Providing online employee training is easier than a traditional offering because there is less to do. Since a physical room is no longer required, it does not need to be reserved or rented, location instructions do not need to be provided, there are no desks or PC's to setup, no meals to provide, no coffee break goodies to arrange, no overhead projectors to rent, etc.
However, the class still needs to be organized. People need to be informed about the training meeting session and you probably want utilize an enrollment process. You may want to send reminders or notifications when the class starts. And when the training has been delivered, collecting feedback to better improve the next class is a good idea as well.
In addition to delivering training, BlueTrain provides all of the functions you need to organize, inform and manage the complete training cycle. By automating these tasks, your work load is reduced and the entire process is professionally managed.
Here's just a few of features we provide to manage the employee training cycle:
- Course Definition and Scheduling - Define your training course offering, pre-requisites, summary information, agenda, class dates, enrollment limits, scheduled date/time and more. And if the date/time of the class is changed, all it takes is one click to blast out a notice.
- Employee Invitations - Blast out custom invitations of your offering to everyone within the company using reusable e-mail contact groups.
- Enrollment Process - Use our optional enrollment module to allow people to sign-up and ready to join the class. Receive notifications of each enrollment. You can also manually add enrollees (or import a list of enrollees).
- Training Class Reminders - Participants can be reminded of the class in numerous ways: Pop-Up iCal reminders within Outlook or Lotus, SMS text message reminders (sent to cell phones) and e-mail reminders as well.
- Joining the Class - Links within enrollment confirmations or invitations enable the person to join with one click.
- Perform the Training - Deliver highly effective training to employee desktops.
