FOUR REASONS FOR HR MANAGERS TO DEPLOY VR TRAINING

Our pandemic lockdown has only exacerbated the challenges related to recruitment and training. As businesses reopen, they are finding that they’re not going back to older HR training models. These new challenges can be seen as huge roadblocks or once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

One of these new opportunities is Virtual Reality (VR) Training. This immersive reality training model is widely considered the next generation of education and training (1). 

As we move forward, HR leaders must explore new ways to avoid ‘playing it safe.’ (2). There is a reason that VR Training is expected to exceed $6.3 billion in 2022 (3). The reason is that it’s working! This article will provide four reasons HR leaders should consider a VR training system.

THE GREAT RESIGNATION

The Great Resignation Era has been led by the fact that baby boomers are retiring, employees feel liberated to move into positions of the future, and higher pay. This employment era may extend well into 2022 and beyond. This continual staffing challenge will force HR teams to think out of the box and offer new employee incentives that may include world-class training.

The Great Resignation Era statistics offer a snapshot of the changing employment landscape.

  • Consistency of 4 million Americans quitting their jobs (5)
  • 76% of employees say they want flexibility in schedule and location (6)
  • Only 32% say they’re looking for a career in the same industry (7)
  • 22% are quitting to start their own business (8)
  • Highest amongst mid-career employees (9)
  • Resignations decreased in workers 20-25 (10)
