Brian Baker, Marketing and Merchandising Strategist, and Jessica Fenner, Marketing and Promotions Manager, of Warrenton Oil Company are prioritizing and innovating the company’s employee training. They are internally producing short-form training videos that allow the information to be easily retained. The videos are filmed on a smartphone, then made available on a video sharing platform. Training topics include a variety of subjects such as mobile pay, pump imaging standards, octane ratings and more. Warrenton Oil Co. even encourages their employees to send in their own video ideas. This unique take on training has empowered their employees to think about training and safety in a completely different light—making them even more impactful.
