Soft skills and negotiation training in VR
Soft skills are the skills needed to create the required social interactions (presentation, client service, business communication, negotiation, mediation, argumentation, persuasion, coaching, leadership, crisis management).
In an era of increasing automation, it is the human factor – the skills and competencies of specific employees – that determines success in a competitive environment.
WEAKNESSES OF CURRENT TRAINING METHODS
With the current methods of teaching soft skills it is difficult to measure progress, the effect of training is judged by the subjective evaluation of the learner. It is not clear to the company to what extent the learning effect is used in practice and the return on investment cannot be determined. Passive transmission of information without context is learning without practice, “one size fits all” training is not very effective if only because different people act differently in a given situation.
WHY LEARN IN VIRTUAL REALITY?
Training in VR provides an authentic experience, one is 100% present and has a realistic multi-sensory perception of the situation being trained. Especially where traditional methods have been ineffective or have reached their limits, virtual training can convey an absolute learning effect. The training changes unsatisfactory habits and the acquired skills are immediately usable in practical life.
VR TRAINING
