Technology
Knowing your employees ’ capabilities before they are put into a real-world situation allows for better understanding of where additional time needs to be spent to minimize the skills gaps and critical errors caused by lack of experience . Perhaps nothing is more important for long term knowledge retention than effective feedback . Since training takes place in a digital environment , each session can be recorded for playback and feedback at a later time . Analytics can also be run against the captured data to identify trends and areas needing more attention .
Given the already high cost , consideration for training efficiency is of the utmost importance . VR training methods allow for unlimited use . Once the environment has been created , it can be used and reused on an almost limitless basis . A recent 2020 PWC study shows that employees completed VR programs four times faster than in-person training and 1.5 times faster than e-learning . In addition , VR training results in learning retention rates of up to 80 percent one year after training , compared to 20 percent just one week after traditional training .
Typical use cases for AR / VR modules include :
■ New employee onboarding
■ Facility and working environment familiarization
■ Equipment location and identification
■ Emotional evaluation ( testing for fear of heights , claustrophobia , motion sickness , etc .)
■ Standard operating procedures
■ Advanced skills training
■ Hazard identification
■ Inspection procedures
■ Maintenance procedures
■ Emergency response procedures
■ Safety and compliance training
■ Skills and environment screening
