Immersive Learning creates fully simulated environments where learners interact with the experience — as close to the “real world” as you can get.
New Accenture research and client experiences indicate that investing in XR technologies and modernizing learning and development now makes sense.
94% of today’s workers say they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career development.
More than 90% of the executives responding to the Accenture Immersive Learning survey agree, saying their existing training methods need to be more effective and efficient.
But despite spending an average of $1,300 per employee annually on training, research proves that learners forget 70% of the content within 24 hours and nearly 90% in a month.
The technical skills shortfall is expected to reach more than 8.5 million workers by 2029 and cost $1.2t in lost economic output in the U.S. alone.
Only 26% of employees strongly agree that their employer prepares them for the future skills necessary to adopt and adapt to tech-enabled change.
The
Bottom Line
More than half of executives expect to invest more than $1 million in XR learning initiatives in the next two years. 23% plan to invest more than $10 million.
