By providing extended reality (XR) content and experiences, employers are able to communicate with employees using impactful simulations, through the various stages of their employment from recruitment to onboarding to training to relocation.
Gamifying the recruitment process can help to better select the ideal candidates, and by demonstrating the responsibilities involved in the role using virtual scenarios a better employee fit can be established. Once employed XR experiences can support the full lifecycle of an employee through 360 video powered onboarding, effective virtual reality training and immersive content for a smoother relocation.

5 Ways HR is Using XR and the Metaverse to Attract and Retain the Best Talent
1. Orientation. Allow potential candidates to get a taste of the office culture. Check out the Deloitte example we developed in our project spotlight here. This can be viewed on a desktop but obviously more immersive in a headset.

VR training is 4x faster than traditional classrooms and learners are more confident to act on what they have learned**
3. Relocating. Another example from our partnership with Deloitte where we created a 360 experience to aid staff relocating to a new city. You can discover the London example here, we also worked with them to create a relocation experience for Shanghai, read more here.
