Onboarding and Personal Skills Training Go Digital

The onboarding process is the most critical time period of an employee journey. Improving this process enhances the productivity of a company, its brand reputation, and, through these, its business results. Many companies have attempted to enrich the onboarding experience of new employees through videos, games, or personal interactions. Realizing that competitors are upscaling their onboarding has led to noticeable movement and innovation in this realm. Using immersive and interactive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) for onboarding has recently gained major popularity, which caused an increasing number of companies (such as Deloitte, General Electric, and Lufthansa) to look into this new format of onboarding in more depth.
