Employee Development: How to Create a Podcast for Employee Training

Audio and video podcasts are a highly effective tool for employee development. Using podcasts to deploy employee training works especially well for large organizations or those with mobile employees.

Organizations can create audio or video training on specific skills, continuing education, product launches and more. You can even record live trainings for later viewing. Employees can easily access the content on their phones or computers.

How to Create an Employee Development Podcast

1. Set up media hosting. Podbean handles all your media storage so that content is reliably and securely served up to your employees. With our turnkey enterprise solution, you can create private podcasts that are only available to those with permission (by email login or SSO). You can set up groups for department-specific training and have different account roles for management. Contact our Enterprise Team for a custom quote.
2. Plan and record your content. The hardest part is planning and creating your training content…we make the rest easy. Recording can be done using the Podbean app for Android and iPhone. The trainer can even use his/her earbuds to record. Or, we can help with suggestions for recording equipment and editing tools.
3. Publish and share. There’s no learning curve with Podbean’s blog-like platform. Upload your files and create a post (or publish right from the app). Permitted employees can access the content by logging in to the site, or via the app. We can also set up a custom email notification option.
4. Analyze how your content is performing. Want to evaluate the effectiveness of your employee development podcast? Podbean stats show you how often your podcasts are being downloaded/streamed. We also offer user behavior intel, to see precisely who is accessing what content when.

Take your employee development to the next level—EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE. Increase engagement; diversify to meet more needs and learning styles; make it convenient. Learn more about Podbean’s private podcast solution.
