By 2025, Millennials and Gen Z will make up 75% of the global workforce (Deloitte, 2023). These digital-native generations expect employee training that’s fast, fun, and visual—traditional methods like PowerPoint slides or manuals just don’t cut it. At Sharp Eye Animation, our custom training videos are built to engage these workers, driving retention and performance for forward-thinking companies.
Here’s how we do it—and why it matters for your business.
Why Gen Z and Millennials Demand Better Training
Born between 1981-1996 (Millennials) and 1997-2012 (Gen Z), these workers grew up with YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix. They consume 50% more visual learning content than older generations (McKinsey, 2016), and 91% prefer interactive, engaging training (Shortlister, 2022). Yet, 43% of employees find corporate training ineffective (Employee Training Statistics, 2025), with 70% forgetting it within 24 hours (The Learning Guild). For HR and L&D leaders, this is a crisis—and an opportunity.
These generations aren’t just young hires—they’re your future leaders. Companies that adapt training to their preferences see 20% higher retention rates (Gallup, 2023). Custom training videos deliver exactly what they crave.
How Custom Training Videos Win Them Over
Unlike generic solutions, our handmade animated videos at Sharp Eye Animation are tailored to your brand and goals. Here’s why they resonate with Gen Z and Millennials:
1. Visuals Trump Text Every Time
The brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text, and video boosts recall by 95% (PopVideo, 2016). Our animations turn dry topics—like compliance or software tutorials—into vibrant stories, keeping younger workers hooked.
2. Short and Snackable Beats Long and Dull
With attention spans averaging 8 seconds (Microsoft, 2015), Gen Z and Millennials thrive on microlearning. Our 1-2 minute videos, delivered in 2-3 weeks, fit their busy lives—perfect for onboarding or skills refreshers.
3. Interactive and Fun Sparks Engagement
Boring training kills motivation. Our videos use humor, relatable characters, and interactive elements (e.g., clickable quizzes) to make learning feel like play. It’s why 90% of our clients—like Sephora and Apple—come back.
4. Mobile-Friendly Fits Their Lifestyle
These generations are glued to phones—68% of Gen Z learns on mobile (Pew Research, 2022). Our videos are optimized for any device, ensuring training happens anytime, anywhere.
Real Results for Real Companies
We’ve seen it work. RepairShopr’s video led to a 300% revenue jump by engaging their audience. Sephora streamlined onboarding with our animations, cutting training time by 30%. Millennials and Gen Z don’t just watch—they retain and act.
Why It’s Time to Switch to Video
Static training wastes your $1,286 per employee investment (Training Magazine, 2023). With skills shifting 25% since 2015 (McKinsey), and hybrid work here to stay, engaging Gen Z and Millennials isn’t optional—it’s survival. Our subscription model—unlimited custom videos for a flat fee—scales with your growing workforce, no templates required.
