Predicting VR training ROI in advance
High-impact training areas to focus on first
Using data insights to optimize VR training
If you’re looking for ways to boost efficiency and performance with a limited budget, VR training is a game-changer. Once reserved for large corporations, it’s now more accessible than ever for mid-size businesses. By applying enterprise best practices, you can maximize impact and get the best results from your VR training program.
1. Focus on ROI to drive results
The first question with VR training is always: What’s the return on investment? Large companies have seen huge benefits, and SMBs can too. At Immerse, we help businesses estimate the impact of VR on safety, productivity, and costs, and predict ROI—before they even start. With built-in analytics, tracking key training metrics becomes easy. Immerse customers have seen a 52% improvement in speed to competence and a 50% reduction in training time, see their customer stories.
2. Start with high-impact training areas
You don’t need to launch a massive VR program all at once. Instead, start by focusing on implementations that align with your key business goals, and test effectiveness with a pilot. This targeted approach makes it easier to integrate VR into your training process and allows you to see results quickly, before expanding to other use cases. You can learn more on how to prove the value of VR training with a pilot.
3. Strengthen safety and compliance training
Safety and compliance are always top business priorities for companies of any size. VR allows your team to practice protocols and emergency procedures in a completely risk-free environment. This way, they’re better prepared for real-life situations, and you can ensure compliance with industry regulations. The immersive nature of VR also helps improve engagement and retention, making those safety guidelines stick long-term.
4. Boost practical, hands-on skills training
In industries where hands-on experience is crucial, VR can simulate everything from machinery operations to medical procedures. Your employees get to practice in a controlled environment, gaining confidence and competence before applying what they’ve learned in the real world. This kind of training gives your team a stronger skillset, while reducing errors and costs.
5. Use data to continuously improve training
VR training provides detailed analytics that help track performance and highlight areas for improvement. With real-time insights, you can refine your training strategy to keep it relevant and effective.
VR training doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. By focusing on high-impact areas like safety, compliance, and hands-on skills, and using data to measure success, you can enhance training effectiveness and see real business results.
