Getting new colleagues up to speed quickly and training existing teams consistently requires clear, scalable content. Animation makes complex processes, safety instructions, and software flows visual, understandable, and available everywhere. Think of microlearning modules for on-the-job training, onboarding animations in multiple languages for international teams, and short onboarding videos that explain culture, tools, and working methods crystal clear. This also ties in with how corporate animations and internal communication reinforce each other.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Animation brings abstract topics to life and ensures consistent knowledge transfer. You avoid differences in interpretation from text or ad hoc explanations, while employees can learn at their own pace. Visual metaphors, motion design, and clear voice-overs increase understanding and retention, especially for technical processes or compliance topics. In addition, training animations scale effortlessly: once produced, you can use the same module worldwide, translate it locally, and easily update it when new procedures are introduced. Typical applications include safety instructions in the workplace, work instructions for machines, software onboarding, customer service flows, and product knowledge. By making animations part of your e-learning or blended learning program, you secure knowledge, reduce errors, and shorten training time without putting extra pressure on trainers or supervisors.

Onboarding animations give new colleagues a flying start: a short series of modules introduces culture and core values, an explanatory animation for onboarding new employees shows tools and processes, and instructional videos make expectations concrete. With microlearning (bite-sized modules of 60-120 seconds), you avoid overload and build competence step by step. By bundling modules per function into playlists, each newcomer navigates exactly what is relevant and you remove friction from the first few weeks. Would you like to have an instructional animation made for internal training for SOPs or step-by-step onboarding? Then you build a clear, repeatable flow for each task or process.

Follow this approach to ensure your training animation or onboarding animation delivers immediate results:
A training animation should fit seamlessly into your existing tools. At Animation Agency , we Animation Agency files in common formats (MP4/WebM), with SRT subtitles, different aspect ratios (16:9, 1:1, 9:16), and versions for mobile viewing. Embedding in your LMS or LXP is easy; if desired, we can link quiz questions in your platform or add a short assessment after the video. If you work with Teams or SharePoint, you can share modules directly and view them asynchronously. For international teams, we provide multilingual voice-overs and terminology lists to ensure consistent use of jargon. If you have updates to processes, we can quickly adjust scripts, visuals, or voice-overs without having to re-produce the entire series. This keeps your content up-to-date and consistent across all countries and teams. Check out our Approach and process for training animations for insight into production and collaboration.
Aim for 60-120 seconds per module. Complex topics are better divided into several short microlearning videos than into one long video. This increases understanding, retention, and completion rates.
Yes. We deliver in standard formats that you can upload or embed in your LMS/LXP or share via Teams/SharePoint. Subtitles and multilingual versions ensure broad usability and accessibility.
