The Power Of Virtual Reality In Corporate Training

"Engagement and retention continue to be a major problem for corporate training because 75% of employees forget what they learned within days. This leads to billions of dollars wasted in productivity. Corporate trainers are turning to Virtual Reality (VR) as a way to solve this problem. Virtual Reality in corporate training places employees in real-life scenarios, allowing them to practice and develop skills, not just memorize content."

"By immersing employees in a realistic, multisensory environment, VR facilitates the repeated practice of information and allows the employee to create enhanced neural connections via the sensory experience that they wouldn't create using passive video watching or practicing via testing. Neuroscience confirms this: immersive Virtual Reality corporate training activates the brain's mirror neurons and hippocampus far more effectively, converting short-term memory into lasting procedural knowledge. The following are key benefits associated with Virtual Reality in corporate training:"

Corporate training suffers from poor engagement and rapid forgetting, with 75% of employees forgetting learned material within days, causing large productivity losses. Virtual Reality places employees in realistic, multisensory scenarios that enable repeated, active practice and the development of procedural skills rather than rote memorization. VR training increases confidence and can produce a fourfold improvement in retention compared with classroom training. Neuroscience shows immersive VR activates mirror neurons and the hippocampus, supporting conversion of short-term memory into lasting procedural knowledge. VR programs are risk-free, scalable, gamified, measurable, and able to build muscle memory for tasks like torque specs and safety procedures.
