How can Virtual Reality enable Soft Skills Training

As by the day, there are newer opportunities and use cases arising out of the Virtual Reality domain. The Industry is evolving at a much greater pace. There are a lot of new use cases and challenges that are being solved by Virtual Reality.

Soft skill training with VR may not be a new tryst tried in the recent past, it is being developed and addressed by several teams across the globe for at least a couple of years now.

Pricewaterhouse Coopers is one such organization, who worked on this early on. Back in 2020, they conducted a detailed study on “The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Soft Skills Training in the Enterprise.” You can download the report from the link here.

A study conducted across 40 different office locations spanning over 1600 people including 700 plus senior associates and managerial level gave us a detailed understanding and idea of the efficacy of Virtual Reality in Soft Skills Training.

This study proved that employees are 275% more confident to act on what they learnt and also is 4 times more focused and faster compared to E - Learning and Class room based training respectively.

As an organization, our core focus has always been Skilling the Workforce. Upskilling and Reskilling is the epicenter of everything we do. Few months back, we had published an article on Technological Unemployment.

Technological Unemployment can be attributed to the human jobs that are being and likely to be replaced by robots and automation of a process that is caused due to the seismic shift in the evolution and adoption of technology.

We started our focus area and our operating segment in the niche Manufacturing & Industrial Training for our Virtual Reality based training solution. As a matter of fact, we believe they hold the front row tickets for technological unemployment, particularly the front line workforce. Solving from the lower end of the pyramid will pave way for a healthy bottom line for the organizations involved. We continue to deliver our solution and operate in the space with the same vigor and passion as always. We intend to combat “Technology with Technology.”

As a process of expanding our scope of support and all the potential use cases that our tailor made VR solution can offer to the Corporate Soft Skills Training segment is immense. From all our discussions with the Corporate HR World, the kind of attention and focus they have for employee engagement is exemplary.

The fascinating plus side of any customized solution is that, it’s not confined to one size fits all format. Every organization can have their own levels of interaction, engagement and processes incorporated. There are newer use cases that are being explored and implemented as with the progress and evolution of Virtual Reality.

We have compiled the top list of use cases and the different ways in which Virtual Reality can add value to the Corporate Soft Skills Training in the video below. Please do check it out and feel free to bounce back on other potential use cases, where VR can be an important enabler.

Let us co create a skilled workforce of the future across Industries & Sectors.
