Employee onboarding with immersive simulations

Employee onboarding training with immersive simulations helps new recruits develop critical skills and start off on the right foot.

Onboarding is a moment of truth when the engagement levels of recruits begin to be established.

With the war for talent at an all time high, it is critical to get onboarding right. It is also an ideal opportunity to immerse people in the organizational culture and develop the mindset you want in your new employees.

It is now essential to develop skills-based, practice-oriented systems for learners. Personalized learning paths and relevant content help embrace different skill levels and learning styles.

A digitally transformed solution

Traditional onboarding methods, including virtual instructor-led training (vILT), are too costly, time-consuming and prove impossible to scale. Immersive simulation helps you adapt to a digital asynchronous delivery to ensure onboarding success.

Future proofing onboarding success

Partnering with a global professional services firm, ETU immersive simulations were deployed at strategic points within their 120 day onboarding program, targeting 55,000 new hires over a 5 year period. The simulations were designed to capture the range of working situations the new hires would find themselves in once in the job. Preparing for their new roles, the new employees navigated complex situations in the simulations and applied their knowledge.

Before ETU, the new hires would pass the knowledge tests of the onboarding program and enter the job role where significant ‘compliance mindset’ issues would manifest. Now behavioral issues are accurately identified and remediated, significantly reducing the risk profile of new hires in the job.

This is why situational-based immersive simulations are the only method that uniquely delivers the ability to practice in context. Not only that – simulation also scales the initiative, and delivers real-time usable data on skills.
