Building a business case for this technology is easier than you might think. Several leading learning management systems (LMSs) already offer integrations with AR and VR platforms, allowing companies to add interactive elements to existing training materials. 

H&R Block, for example, uses VR to onboard call center employees. New team members conduct simulated conversations with a virtual avatar so they can practice empathy and active listening skills before applying these skills to real customers. The results speak for themselves: The training program halved the number of dissatisfied customers, and 70% of the company's employees reported preferring VR training to traditional methods. [6]

Can't afford AR right now? In this report, you'll find more tips on how companies can create a successful hybrid strategy that's embraced by employees and motivate their employees to come to work more often.
For employees to accept the return to the office, the plan must work for both companies and employees 
Of the 20% of employees we surveyed who currently have to work on-site more days than a year ago, the majority (57%) view this as a negative. But it doesn't have to be that way. 

Use Schawbel's insights and our technology recommendations to create return-to-office policies that benefit everyone:

Use a hybrid working model with flexible, software-supported scheduling 
Prioritize the employee experience with employee engagement and recognition software
Consider investing in innovative technologies like VR and AR to enhance your LMS's on-site training materials
Next, discuss with your company's executives which of these insights will be implemented and when. Especially for more comprehensive strategy changes, consider in advance whether additional budget or training is necessary. 

Once you're ready to establish new return-to-office policies, make sure you've documented job function email database them thoroughly and communicated them throughout the organization so expectations are clear.
