VR Changes the Game for Soft Skills Training_V2

With the rise of flexible and remote work, our workplaces and how we work have changed forever. At the same time, racial injustice, gender inequity and economic inequality are at the forefront of national discussion. In a volatile and polarized world, research shows that people want to connect with each other but find it more challenging than ever because they simply don’t have the skills needed.

To meet these rising demands, professionals need to strengthen an array of soft skills — from communication to emotional intelligence. Look no further than virtual reality (VR).

Immersive VR and simulations are emerging as the go-to strategy to accurately represent real-world situations for realistic practice. With these strategies, learners can more readily demonstrate desired behaviors when it counts. What’s more, these behaviors become second nature more quickly, upskilling workforces and giving organizations an edge over the competition.

In partnership with Future Workplace, Mursion’s whitepaper, VR Changes the Game for Soft Skills Training, shares stories from H&R Block and T-Mobile which illustrate the positive impact of this approach.

Benefits of reading this whitepaper include:

  1. A comprehensive overview of the perspective key decision-makers at large enterprises have on the use of VR training for soft skills.
  2. How H&R Block and T-Mobile have leveraged VR soft skills training to drive business impact in both culture and top-line revenue.
  3. How virtual reality is distinct from other approaches for soft skills training, and how VR helps companies move into the fast lane in soft skills development.
