Bodyswaps helps bridge the soft skills gap through immersive training experiences

 

LONDON, May 13th, 2021

Bodyswaps is excited to announce its new partnership with leading VR software provider Immerse to deliver lasting behavioural change.

Virtual Reality is transforming the way we learn, explore and interact, especially as the pandemic has accelerated companies’ digitisation strategies. With a global customer base and customers such as DHL, Nestlé, and bp, Immerse provides the enterprise technology that allows businesses to create, distribute, measure, and integrate all forms of immersive content using highly secure cloud-based systems. This partnership is part of an ongoing initiative from Immerse to build an ecosystem where the Immerse Platform will empower and enable organisations to embrace the future of training in the workplace

 

We are delighted to have partnered with the team at Bodyswaps. Soft skills are incredibly important but can be difficult to teach and assess using traditional training methods, especially over the past year. We’re thrilled to be able to help Bodyswaps scale this content among organisations while providing data-driven insights.
Tom Symonds
CEO at Immerse

 

Soft skills are an essential part of working effectively with others, but over the last year, our availability to learn, practise and revise these skills in professional settings has been heavily disrupted. From resolving conflict to giving feedback, to mastering job interviews, Bodyswaps’ immersive training solutions allow participants to carry out repeated and applied autonomous practice in realistic, yet psychologically safe, environments. They are then able to watch their performance back from another perspective, receiving AI-enabled analytical feedback to further accelerate their personal development

 

We are very excited to be working with Immerse to help as many organisations as possible to revolutionise their soft skills training and thrive in a hybrid working world. Looking towards a future in which colleagues spend less time in the same physical space, soft skills will be even more vital to enable teams to communicate and collaborate effectively.
Christophe Mallet
CEO at Bodyswaps
