How to increase employee productivity using Augmented Reality?

The slow pace of change in management process is resulting in the weakening of productivity levels. Since Covid, productivity isn't where it used to be. Companies have gone back to training their workforce, yet they're not seeing the conversion into their productivity figures and the shortage of staff is still a real challenge. To get productivity, companies need to create value in the long term. And with it comes innovation, process and workplace improvement.

Companies are heavily investing in technology and at the same time, they're still not changing the way they think about leadership. Organisations that provide the best working environment to allow their workforce to grow fast, that are investing in people will see better results. it's all about bringing something to the table that they care about. Leaders are often met with this idea that there is a need to make employees perform better. The new model should work both ways, for the organisation and for people. 

Why is AR changing the way we learn?

One of the main benefits of Augmented Reality technology is that it is distraction free. It allows employees to be fully concentrated on the topics that they're trying to assimilate. And assimilate fast - AR based training should be no longer than 2min so concentration level stays at its peak. Employee also enjoy the self-paced and self-directed learning experience in a judgement-free environment with little supervision. They no longer have to worry about what their colleagues or managers think about their ability to learn. Therefore, building experiences that are as inclusive, accessible and practical as possible is really important. ​

Real-time training experience.

Augmented reality allows people to see an entire AR experience without feeling isolating from the rest of the group. There is no headset that cut the viewer from reality. With WebAR, the experience is launched from a trigger image or a QR code in order to give people the ability to see the digital information overlaid on the world around them in a matter of seconds and learn in real time. Imagine entering a hotel room and knowing exactly what to do, just by launching your AR training on the go. Imagine the time and resources saved and the knock-on effect on productivity. 

One of the big exciting thoughts about AR is that it helps create a working environment that enables human performance and helps people bring their best to the job at any moment. Is this something that you'd like to see happening in your organisation ? ​
