Getting native language experts for the localization of audio and video format contents shall help your employees to relate and retain the material better.
2- Repurposing Content

With the content re-engineered and repurposed into the various required formats like audio-visuals, words, pdfs, ppts you are saving a huge amount of time and money in a feasible manner.
