Exploring immersive services

Transform your workforce with cutting-edge immersive technologies that accelerate learning and strengthen employee connections to both learning objectives and to one another.

Virtual learning is often an efficient method of developing new skills that allows employees to retain information longer than traditional learning does, builds confidence through deeper connectivity to the material, and fosters psychological safety while learning new behaviors.

Incorporating augmented, mixed, and virtual reality experiences into new or existing initiatives can accelerate the identification and solution of workplace issues by engaging your employees in a whole new way.

Business leaders are interested in using the metaverse for onboarding and training (42%) and interacting with colleagues (36%)

How PwC can help - capabilities & services

Conversation-based learning modules

Get to the heart of specific workforce challenges – from engaging in difficult conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), to learning how to deliver to effective feedback, to driving greater buy in and adoption across your major initiatives – by allowing the learner to converse with a virtual colleague. This experience connects the learner both emotionally and mentally by driving greater empathy and simulating an environment they know well, allowing them to practice some of the most challenging interactions they have in the workplace.

Metaverse team collaboration

Metaverse team collaboration provides a new kind of enhanced connectivity between teams, allowing groups to address specific workplace problems in customized virtual workspaces, collaborating and solutioning in a new, more impactful way.This hybrid meeting model increases engagement, strengthens connectivity, and provides an alternative for traditional video conferencing in a time where companies are looking for something new, innovative, and environmentally sustainable

Immersive VR training can rapidly upskill employees off-site and at scale for hands-on technical tasks.

In-person ad hoc training in these scenarios is often costly, logistically difficult, time consuming, and can vary widely in quality, accuracy, and effectiveness. 

In fields where trainees need to be familiar with details such as locations, names and uses of different types of equipment, as well as service procedures and troubleshooting, virtual hands-on training allows for independent, on-demand practice of functional skills in a simulated environment.
