A STUDY ON VIRTUAL REALITY IN EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING AND TRAINING AT DELOITTE

Abstract

The use of VR to create fully realistic educational environments has recently grown in popularity. New methods of training and orienting personnel have emerged as a result of the fast development of technology. Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to enhance engagement, memory retention, and skill acquisition; Deloitte was an early adopter of this technology in corporate training. With virtual reality (VR), employees may practice solving real-world problems in an immersive, lifelike environment. Without taking the risks associated with on-the-job training, they are able to learn by doing. This strategy streamlines the onboarding process and helps new employees comprehend the company's culture, norms, and practices more quickly. According to research by Deloitte, VR enhances workers' trust in one another, recall of previously learned material, and overall productivity. This abstract takes a look at the possible benefits and drawbacks of adopting virtual reality (VR) for training and onboarding, as well as how VR might revolutionize the way companies develop their employees in the modern era.
