Mars Wrigley needed to reduce their training program time without sacrificing its efficacy. They identified their biggest “loss leader” and commissioned a series of virtual reality simulations to familiarize their employees with the machinery and learn how to perform established processes and inspections.
With trainer tools designed to support a multiplayer classroom experience, employees were learning faster than ever. Trainees excelled as they could explore and learn about the machinery in a safe environment. In other simulations, they interacted with the tools and equipment necessary to troubleshoot and inspect the machinery. These simulations allow employees to perform proficiency checks to ensure they are fit for the job.
By leveraging virtual reality, Mars Wrigley reduced training time by 50% while increasing employee retention by 10% and boosting product output by 32%, resulting in a 30x return on investment.
