The Gym for Soft Skill Development To Strengthen Leadership
67% of recruiters are withholding job offers due to a lack of soft skills across all industries, but there is a tool that can help: virtual reality. In this webinar, learn how VR can target a set of skills or behaviors and then help learners develop those skills in less than an hour.
67% of recruiters are withholding job offers due to a lack of soft skills across all industries and job roles. Regardless if one is speaking about leadership, HR, sales, or customer service, many assume these inherent skills could take years to learn.
New virtual reality technology is proving otherwise.
VR can be used to train soft skills and do so in an immersive, safe environment. Mursion, a leading pioneer in VR technology, is leveraging those types of simulations for high impact soft skills training. As part of 2019’s Talent Exchange Live online event, Vice President Christina Yu said VR allows learners to make mistakes and grow on-the-spot. Specifically, it can be used to target a set of skills or behaviors and then help learners develop those skills in less than an hour.
In this webinar, Yu explores:
- How VR applies to soft skills training
- How our partners are seeing cost savings and dramatic improvement with VR that is leveraged for highly engaging training
- The science of how VR simulations can change behavior when implemented correctly and with a human-centric approach
