DIGITISATION IN TRAINING
As Pandemic hit , the workplace learning space has been shaken completely. Classroom training sessions have become practically impossible and companies are resorting to innovative technologies that can help them train virtually in remote situations . Blended learning models using technologies like Virtual Reality , Simulation , gamified learning are being increasingly used by technical institutes, governments, corporates to train better and develop a pool of skilled manpower ready for jobs .
INDUSTRIES MOVE THEIR TRAINING FROM ANALOG TO DIGITAL
Digital transformation is not just about modernising a few processes , but It’s about making technology an integral part of your process that helps you to achieve your goals and deliver better results . With VR simulation and metaverse setting in , we can clearly expect organizations to capitalize on these technologies for a first mover advantage. Some of the organisations are moving towards digital training implementation over the past 2 years include Linde, Larsen & Toubro , Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, GMR, India Chemical Council as well as the Delhi International Airport.
VR SIMULATION TRAINING FOR HAZARDOUS GOOD TRANSPORTATION
Transporting hazardous goods from one place to another requires special skills. Different terrains pose different challenges, putting the drivers’ skills to test. During the pandemic, there was an evident shortage of skilled drivers who could handle hazardous goods such as liquid oxygen. Tecknotrove - a simulation and VR specialist developed a simulation training program that enables training drivers on safe hazchem transportation . Tecknotrove helped set up a simulation centre for oil major- Linde with a tanker truck simulator which trains drivers on safe transportation of hazardous goods on a variety of terrains and a range of driving situations. Pedestrian crossing, distractions and other driving scenarios are easily replicated in the virtual scenarios so drivers can be prepared with the most ideal response when driving on the actual road.
Benefits Of Shifting Training Processes From Analog To Digital :
Digital transformation is imperative in today’s world and organizations are looking at integrating technology into every aspect of their operations. Training is one significant area where digital transformation can produce incredible results. Listed below are key benefits of shifting training processes from analog to digital:
Immersive learning leading to higher knowledge retention .
A classroom based training model with books, pen, paper and an instructor doesn’t always translate to productive sessions. On the contrary, digital training delivers immersive learning experiences, making the learning process more fun and interactive. Knowledge is retained better as learners are actively participating as opposed to passively watching.
Reduced training costs
Traditional methods of training may seem inexpensive in the beginning. But the compromised productivity of employees only proves costly for organizations in the long run. Digital training using Simulation and VR makes great business sense as it can train 3 times faster , allows focused training of groups ,increases performance and productivity, subsequently resulting in a pool of skilled employees which is invaluable to the company
Establishes a good company culture
Training and induction sessions play a critical role in establishing company culture. Employees who resonate with the company’s goals and values develop a sense of belonging towards the organization. Interactive training using immersive VR technology can help employees better understand company culture and identify themselves as dedicated employees working towards a shared vision.
Attracts millennial talent
Millennials today aren’t just driven by monetary benefits. There are several other aspects to a job that lures employees towards a certain organization. And one of those is the quality and effectiveness of training processes. A modernized company with the latest training techniques is naturally deemed a better fit for career development by millennials.
Optimize process efficiency
From recruitment to training, the integration of technology paves way for better productivity and efficiency. It isn’t just the employees who benefit from digital training. Organizations can assess employee performance, assign job roles accordingly, make better decisions and improve overall efficiency and revenue generation simply by modernizing training processes and eliminating errors.
