2021: Update Application

Specialists from the Liquid Studio Accenture Innovation Laboratory have updated the Be Safe app. Be Well, "which helps organizations train and adapt new employees to the realities of office life in an immersive gaming format. Accenture announced this on July 28, 2021.

The training of newly recruited employees was also relevant before the "remote": the faster the new team members begin to navigate the office floors and understand who to address these or other issues, the sooner they will begin their work duties and carry out them effectively.

"Remote" aggravated this problem. Dozens of new employees have been hired remotely, and now they all have to return to offices they have never seen, where they know nothing. If we are talking about one person, this is not critical, but if a dozen newcomers come at the same time, a collapse may occur in working processes. Accenture solves this problem, "said Arseny Kondratyev, head of Liquid Studio Accenture in Russia.

Accenture uses virtual reality and gamification mechanisms for enterprise training both for its own tasks and provides various solutions in this area to customers. The first version of the "Be Safe. Be Well "was released several years ago, now it has been expanded and finalized.

Using the application, you can get acquainted with the company's office in the format of a game on the company's website.

The game provides nine levels, each of which opens only after passing the previous one. The employee in the game is accompanied by a virtual assistant who conducts a mini-excursion, talks about the rules and intricacies of office life. Also in the application there is a dialogue with the bot: at any time he can be asked questions. He will answer the most often repeated very quickly.

The solution combines several technologies at once to create an augmented reality effect, for example, 3D scanning of a real environment. With it, the real physical office is displayed in the digital world with maximum accuracy and detail.

Thanks to immersive technologies, corporate training becomes a process not only effective, but also truly exciting and exciting, "added Arseniy Kondratyev.

According to him, many companies in Russia carefully feel the moment when employees can be returned to offices or transferred to a hybrid work model.

Given how long the format of remote work lasts, the issue may become acute here not only with the adaptation of people employed remotely, but also with the return of long-term employees. But the motivation of employees depends on a comfortable adaptation, and here on a scale of one hundred or a thousand people we get a completely tangible economic effect, "says Arseny Kondratyev.
