With the world available at the touch of a screen through apps, phones, computers, and virtual reality devices, business training and advancement are geared to meet a new level of training and implementation.
Virtual reality is taking every aspect of the world by storm, from gaming to medical training. These new advancements are providing corporations with new tools to achieve higher levels of success. There’s no doubt there are exciting times ahead for VR when it comes to sectors like video games. But VR has many more applicationsbeyond gaming — especially for the business world. Below are some of the many advantages VR provides in the corporate world and beyond.
New Hire and Continued Training
New-hire training and acclimation into a company is one of the most time-consuming tasks corporations face. Add to this the number of new hires that enter a company and find they are not suited for the position, leaving the companies to start the process again. By utilizing VR training tools for training new hires, the basics of their daily tasks will decrease the time hiring personnel have to spend away from other vital projects.
Another advantage to VR in the training process is that, instead of a supervisor explaining the details or showing the new employees what to do, the new hire will get to physically experience the job through VR. This will allow for a quicker integration into their new positions while at the same time giving them a perspective into the role and weeding out those who are incompatible for the job in a shorter time frame.
Technical Knowledge Without Risk
Utilizing VR technology for training in high-risk areas like electrical applications or surgical training can decrease the dangers to all involved. The employee gets to learn from hands-on experience, without ever really touching a thing. As in the case of the electrical applications, an employee could learn to handle electrical cables or boxes with care and achieve the proper techniques needed for this dangerous work, without ever being at risk of electrocution due to mistakes. Surgical training and other critical positions carry the same benefits, providing the corporate world with better-trained staff without higher risk.
Customer Service
While technical training is a high priority, in the corporate world, customer service is just as important, if not more so. Using virtual reality technology to improve customer service, employers can simulate different scenarios and see how customer service reps handle each situation. This information will provide invaluable feedback and allow for better overall customer experiences. Better relationships with customers equals higher conversion rates and repeat customers.
Interviewing and Hiring
Virtual reality will also help in the interviewing and hiring phase of employment, as well. Playing out scenarios for prospective employees during interviews will help managers to determine how well the interviewee will fit into the position for which they have applied. When applicants answer questions on an application or through a conversation, it is often easy to reply with what they deem to be the correct answer. When utilizing VR for this process, the applicant is put into the situation. Their real abilities will be displayed instead of a well-rehearsed response, which will allow employers to find the best fit possible for the job.
Remote Jobs
One final use for VR in the corporate world is that of remote positions. With more industries turning to remote employees to fill newer demands, training and communication can become lax. Utilizing VR for training, meetings, and other company necessities will allow both the employer and employee to have a precise understanding of the concepts and desires as if they were working in the same office. This benefit enables corporations to expand their reach to newer markets and customers.
Virtual reality technology is finding a home in everything in today’s high-tech world. With it comes many benefits for quicker training, better hiring, and more successful customer relations in the corporate world.
