Staffing and Recruitment

Several factors affect the ability to find the most qualified candidates, including geographical boundaries, time constraints, and travel-cost limitations. According to a recent U.S. Department of Labor poll, for example, the typical hiring process—from job requisition to offer acceptance—takes an average of three months. And costs associated with flying candidates or hiring managers to various locations for on-site interviews and follow-up discussions can easily skyrocket. Finding ways to cut time and costs to this process is critical to driving down P&L costs. Being able to speak face-to-face, without having candidates travel, reduces costs and having the ability to record and archive interviews may help shrink the cycles of live interviews that are needed and can be kept for compliance issues.

Corporate Training

Distance learning is not limited to the education industry. The time and cost associated with planning and implementing a training session can be excessive. Recent studies show that close to 50 percent of all training budgets are spent on planning and administration. Collaboration allows interactive, face-to-face training sessions to be given to a widespread audience without the planning, travel, and logistics issues associated with on-site courses. Students remain as engaged as if they were in a regular classroom. Real-time interactive communications with collaboration (video conferencing in particular) ensures a quality learning environment without geographical boundaries. Remote instructors can participate without the costs of travel to/from a training location. With immersive video technologies such as Polycom RPX solutions, instructors can teach a class as if they were in a regular classroom—standing up and roaming around. Using recording and streaming solutions allows courses to be streamed live or recorded, and stored and viewed on demand (creating a content library).
