PHOENIX--()--Second City Communications and Corpedia are pleased to announce the launch of RealBiz Shorts Energy, a library of 12 short, funny videos specific to the regulatory issues facing the utility, gas and pipeline industries. This is the latest addition to the RealBiz Shorts ethics and compliance library, which now includes 100 video shorts and counting, being viewed by over 2 million people in over 200 mostly Fortune 1000 clients.
“We wanted the training to be both informative and entertaining”
The RealBiz Shorts library was built in collaboration with ethics and compliance thought-leaders, from several blue chip energy companies, as a way to help engage employees around these important issues in a positive way. The videos support traditional training and communications by drawing attention to key resources and making them more engaging and accessible. After all, you can’t bore people into changing behavior.
To preview a video, and to learn more, register for the free webinar, New Videos, Best Practices for Implementation, and User Experiences, occurring Thursday, January 24, 2013, 1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. EST. To request a demo of the full library, visit realbizshorts.com/energy.
“We wanted the training to be both informative and entertaining,” said Tom Hall, Director of Compliance & Regulatory Policy Initiatives with Spectra Energy Transmission. “With RealBiz Shorts, we successfully accomplished this by incorporating various videos into our in-house (custom) developed content, as well as utilizing games and prizes to reinforce the various compliance messages. As a result, Spectra’s Culture of Compliance took a significant leap forward.”
RealBiz Shorts builds on The Second City’s 50-plus years of expertise in developing engaging, insightful content that connects with people, makes them laugh and makes them think. The video shorts help compliance professionals change behavior by putting important messages in front of employees, throughout the year, in a way that engages them and builds buzz.
“This is a major innovation for the energy industry – the idea of using short and funny content to get attention and drive stronger results. RealBiz Shorts combines comedy, social learning, and the latest thought-leadership in compliance and ethics training to help improve the culture of compliance for energy companies in a positive way,” said Steve Johnston, president of Second City Communications. “As with all RealBiz Shorts, this new content is developed in collaboration with leaders in the energy sector – real suggestions from real companies to co-create and crowd source relevant scenarios that connect with employees on the front lines,” added Johnston.
