In a rapidly changing job market, the need to employ innovative and creative recruitment strategies has never been more prevalent. This is why ETL UK has been exploring how VR technology can help us to shake up the onboarding process across our network. When we are welcoming new employees to their role at an ETL GLOBAL UK company, we want it to be clear from day one that they have joined a company that prioritises innovation.

Our delegate gift was carefully created to demonstrate how VR can be integrated into your onboarding process. The ETL Marketing Team has developed a pilot VR Onboarding Experience, which we hope to roll out network-wide, tailored to your company. Your pilot VR Onboarding Experience began the minute you opened your delegate gift box this morning; we encourage you to explore our resources at your leisure following the conference. 

If you want to join us in exploring the potential of VR for HR, talk to a member of the marketing team during the conference, or get in touch at marketing@etl-uk.com, to find out how we can make this happen for you. 

We encourage you to take a minute and watch our VR Onboarding video, using the VR Headset from your delegate gift box. With the help of Glaisyers ETL’s new office in Spinningfields, Manchester, ETL Marketing have created an example of a VR Induction video that we could help you to produce. From using our 360 technology to capture your office in full, to collaborating alongside your team to craft a narrative that align with your brand and culture, ETL Marketing will be with you every step of the way. 

So without further ado, unlock your VR future and watch our induction tour of Glaisyers ETL!
