“We emailed the policy update three times. Half the team still filed it wrong.”
You hit send on the expense-policy update email. The bold sections list the new submission deadline, the revised approval limits, and the deprecated category codes. Open rate climbs to 47% by lunch. The other 53% are in customer calls, on PTO, or already past your subject line.
First wave of Slack DMs lands: 'Wait, did the per-diem actually change?' You re-explain the same paragraph for the fourth time. Three managers ask if the policy applies to their team — a question paragraph two answered.
Two engineers submit expenses under the deprecated category codes. The finance team kicks them back. Both employees DM you with screenshots of the rejected submission, slightly embarrassed and a little frustrated.
A manager approves a $1,800 expense above the new limit because they read the first email but forgot the threshold. Finance flags it. Now the manager looks bad, the employee looks bad, and the policy is being relitigated in #people.
You spend the afternoon writing individual correction emails. One reply lands in your inbox: 'I never saw the update.' Another: 'I read it but did not realize it applied to my team.' Same memo, same week, different humans, same failure mode.
An audit pulls a sample of expense submissions. Four are post-effective-date entries that still used the old process. You have no way to show those employees received and understood the update — the email exists, but the comprehension trail does not.
of employees admit to ignoring workplace emails, and the skip rate climbs above 90% specifically for HR-flagged messages — which is where the compliance risk for every policy update lives.
“Every unread policy update is a compliance gap, a wasted HR hour, and an employee who looks bad through no fault of their own.”
You write a thorough policy email — 600 words, three bolded sections, an attached FAQ. You send it Monday. By Friday, seven employees have submitted expenses using the old process, three managers have approved requests above the new limit, and finance has kicked back nine submissions. You spend Thursday afternoon writing individual correction emails.
You record a ninety-second screen walkthrough showing the old expense form next to the new one. You highlight the three things that changed. ngram polishes the cut, smart-zooms on the changed field, adds captions, and applies the brand kit. Employees watch on their commute. The first round of submissions lands at near-perfect compliance.
Every policy update triggers the same cycle. Email, confusion, individual correction, frustration. Your HR team spends about 28% of its week managing email follow-up instead of strategic work, and the next quarterly policy update is already on the calendar with the same broken pattern.
Every policy update ships as a short video with documented completion tracking. Employees who watched do not need follow-up. Employees who skipped show up in a list you can nudge directly. Your HR team reclaims hours every cycle and walks into the next compliance review with an actual audit trail.
An audit pulls a sample of expense submissions a month later. Four are post-effective-date entries that still used the old codes. The email exists in the inbox. But you cannot show those employees ever absorbed the change — comprehension is a black box.
The same audit, with the same compliance question, gets a clean answer. The completion log shows who watched, when, and whether they acknowledged the update. Compliance is a data question instead of a he-said-she-said about a memo that may or may not have been opened.
Bring a quick screen recording or just the policy memo. ngram turns either one into a branded policy update video employees actually finish — same captions, same brand kit, same smart zooms on the field that changed.
Open the HRIS, the expense form, or the policy doc and record yourself clicking through the change. ngram trims the pauses, smart-zooms on the changed field, adds captions, and applies the brand kit. Employees see exactly what is different and how it affects their actual workflow — not a paragraph that describes it.
Screen Recording to VideoPaste the policy update memo, the FAQ, or even bullet points. ngram writes the script, plans a storyboard with the effective date and action item on screen, and produces a complete video with voiceover and motion graphics. Useful for compliance policies and benefits changes where a screen walkthrough is not appropriate.
Docs to VideoBranded, captioned, and clear enough to ship to the whole org without a follow-up clarification thread.
If the policy lives inside a longer handbook or release-notes-style doc, run them through PDF to Video or Release Notes to Video first — the polish step downstream is identical.
Employees are roughly 75% more likely to watch a video than read an email, document, or web article. When comprehension matters for compliance, the medium is the message — and video is the medium that gets watched on commutes, between meetings, and inside Slack previews where written memos die.
Employees retain about 95% of a message delivered as video versus roughly 10% from a written memo. The retention gap is exactly where policy-compliance risk concentrates.
Every policy email triggers a wave of clarification questions, incorrect submissions, and 1:1 re-explanations. Video answers the questions before they are asked because employees see the process, not just read about it. Your HR team reclaims hours every update cycle.
Video completion tracking shows who watched and who did not. For compliance-critical updates — comp, benefits, code of conduct — pair the video with an acknowledgment step and the audit trail protects both the company and the employee from an honest miss.
Walk through the updated form on screen, or paste the policy memo into ngram. Mistakes, pauses, and false starts are fine — ngram works with whatever HR already has on hand.
ngram trims dead air, smart-zooms on the field that changed, adds captions, and applies the brand kit. Scrub the storyboard, tighten the section that drags, and approve before render.
Choose the destination and framing for this policy update, then download the finished MP4. Build intranet, Slack, and mobile versions as separate edits when their framing differs.
Every policy change — expense, PTO, parental leave, remote work, code of conduct — ships as a captioned, brand-applied video the whole company can rewatch when the question reopens. Replace the email-and-clarify cycle with one artifact you can point at for weeks.
Benefits enrollment changes and quarterly compliance refreshers reach the whole org in the format employees actually finish. Stop fielding the same five questions on Slack every cycle and reclaim the hours for strategic work.
Policy updates that need provable comprehension — privacy, security, code of conduct — pair the video with an acknowledgment step. The completion log becomes the audit trail when compliance reviews ask whether the workforce received and understood the change.
When the expense policy changes, finance is the team that pays the cost of misunderstanding. A short walkthrough video showing the old form next to the new one cuts kicked-back submissions by an order of magnitude and saves the close-of-quarter rework.
Sensitive policy changes — comp recalibrations, benefits adjustments, post-funding policy resets — need leadership tone, not just an email. A founder-led policy video lands the why and the what in the same artifact employees can rewatch.
Internal product-policy changes — feature-flag-rollout governance, code-review norms, on-call rotation policies — reach engineering and design as a video instead of a Notion doc that no one reads. The PM update finally lands.
When a customer-facing policy change ships — pricing, support SLAs, sunset timelines — the CS team needs the talking points first. A short internal policy update video means every CSM hears the same explanation before the customer-facing email goes out.
Multi-region policy updates that need translated captions, brand-controlled visuals, and an auditable record of who watched what. ngram fits the governance bar enterprise HR has to meet without standing up a video production line in-house.
Other ways HR and people teams use ngram to ship clearer internal comms without an agency cycle.
Bring whatever the policy already lives in. Each converter drops you into the same captioned, brand-applied policy update video pipeline a fresh screen recording would use.

| Employee comprehension | 10-20% retention | High if watched | 95% retention |
| Update turnaround | Fast (and skipped) | Weeks plus revision fees | Same day |
| Scalability across updates | Scales (nobody reads) | Doesn't scale on budget | Scales with the policy load |
