Let us quickly talk about employee training in general. If we’re honest, I guess everyone can think of a boring training class with a Powerpoint that doesn’t want to end. To be forced to take part in a training, regardless of the current workflow, can be frustrating. If the instructor doesn’t relate to the participants’ needs and can’t change the behaviour at the end, the whole effort was pointless and cost intensive. Let us see how one of the HR trends 2020, Virtual Reality training, can be the problem solver you wish for.
Improving safety with Virtual Reality training
To train an employee for the variety of situations they can be confronted with is the responsibility of an employer. If safety comes into play, it even turns into an obligation to support employees with the best training possible. Inconveniently, on-the-job training is often not possible or very limited. Traditional classroom training, on the other hand, does not give the hands-on experience one needs. Compared to that Virtual Reality training not only combines the benefits of both but even has more to offer. With the main focus on safety, we aim for learning faster, remember longer and decide better. Read how AST uses Virtual Reality training.
Enhance performance with Virtual Reality training
We work best if we are sure about our work and not full of uncertain doubt. But to have this routine and self-confidence we need hands-on practice. When we already made every mistake in a safe environment one can get more work done, even as a new employee. This leads to an improved operational efficiency and increased productivity.
Practice dangerous tasks or “what if” scenarios with no risks in virtual environments with Virtual Reality training
In the modern workplace, we can see that employees need to be more proficient. With complexity increasing and simultaneous change happen more rapidly, employees have to be prepared for all situations. To transfer the valuable in-house knowledge of handling difficult or dangerous situations is the key to improve safety. A VR training offers the possibility to train all kinds of scenarios. Since the Virtual Reality training feels more real, the experienced tasks and impressions can be remembered better. Humans are more likely to remember information if they are linked to emotions. And what could be more emotional than being in that situation yourself?

Get on the future of learning to achieve more interaction in compliance training
To be seen as an innovation-driven company is crucial in the war for talents. The experiential training requires the employee to participate in the exercise. This results in better memory as this training does not let boredom come up and breaks with poor classroom habits. The greater engagement and chance to interact with the tasks promote self-motivation. Make sure to be part of the future of compliance training.

By offering every employee the exact same content, a truly consistent quality of training can be guaranteed. And while you’re not dependent on the availability of the trainer anymore, you can be much more cost effective. Growing employee talents does not have to be pricey!
