Walmart takes virtual reality training nationwide

  • b88b54d5d6914e49075aeb8cb90105bcFour headsets will be given to every Walmart Supercenter and two to every Neighborhood Market starting in October. By the end of 2018, every associate will have access to the same training as their managers do at the Academies.

Walmart says its new virtual reality program will help with so-called "soft skills" like customer service and empathy. In addition, the program will help associates with compliance issues, and help them grow familiar with the company's technology, like its Pickup Towers, which will be available in roughly a quarter of the retailer's stores by the end of this year.

Here is a complimentary video; STRIVR did the WalMart VR app.
