The poll, conducted by Video Arts, revealed that businesses are changing the way they provide staff with opportunities to learn and develop, with an increased use of in-house training and digital video.
Indeed, 81 per cent of the groups polled now provide in-house training, 84 per cent offer full-day training courses, 69 per cent give coaching, 58 per cent use digital video clips and 50 per cent provide e-learning or an interactive self-study course.
Looking to the future, 54 per cent of respondents hope to provide more in-house training, while 38 per cent are set to increase their use of online video streaming.
Martin Addison, managing director of Video Arts, said: "Digital video and e-learning are growth areas because they are seen as engaging and they make learning available anytime and anywhere. E-learning in particular is enjoying a resurgence of interest."
The Health and Safety Executive recently recommended that training be offered to get more employees taking a proactive approach to health and safety in the workplace.
