The Benefits of Using VR in the Workplace

A VR headset is a device that provides a virtual reality experience for the user. Virtual reality headsets are popularly used for video games but can also be used for simulators and trainers. Many think this device can only be used for gaming-related purposes—but think again! With the integration of technology use in the workplace, there is a push for the use of innovative technology to enhance work environments, employee productivity and team building. Read below for ways to incorporate virtual reality into the workplace.

Onboarding

VR can be used to make the onboarding process more fun and interactive. This will help to improve employees’ positive perspectives on their job and the organization they work for. VR can also provide a virtual experience for what their job may look like. This can help attract more qualified and desirable candidates.

Safety

VR can provide a safe space simulation for workers to engage in. For example, VR can help train first responders in helping them to resolve dangerous situations without putting their lives at risk. This technology will allow the workers to evaluate their mistakes and learn to cope with real-life events.

Productivity 

VR allows employees from different departments of the business to collaborate in a virtual space from anywhere. The virtual space further provides a platform for teams to work and complete projects in a quick timeframe while reducing travelling and hardware costs.

Team Building

VR provides employees with the opportunity to engage in unique immersive experiences while allowing them to build stronger working connections from remote locations. VR team-building exercises focus on essential team effectiveness skills such as communication, collaboration and problem-solving. These exercises can range from Pictionary and Scavenger Hunts to Escape Rooms.

The Benefits of iPads in the Workplace

It is no question technology has become an integral component of many employees’ workdays. Technology is used primarily to stay connected with team members and to complete daily work-related tasks and responsibilities. Equipping your office with the right technology will help to increase and promote productivity. Many employees resort to a workstation or laptop, but iPads have proved to be just as efficient. Why should you choose to go with an iPad over a laptop or workstation?

Security

iPads are known to be very secure compared to a PC. It is very difficult for a virus to take over an iPad as iPadOS puts a wall around each app, which protects software from overwriting one another. iPads also offer several data security features including Find My iPad and Touch ID.

Value

Choosing to rent or buy an iPad is typically cheaper than renting or buying a laptop or workstation. Regarding software and applications, the Apple App Store provides many free apps and software such as Microsoft Office for work-related use. To use Microsoft Office on a laptop or workstation, you will need to purchase the software separately.

Versatility

iPads offer several versatility options that you will not find with a laptop or workstation. iPads can be used to take photos, have the option to add a keyboard or use without, have the ability for you to stay connected from virtually anywhere with the purchase of a data plan and it is more compact & easier to transport than a laptop or workstation.

 

iPads have become more popular and common for use in the workplace in the past few years. In addition to the several mentioned benefits, iPads are great for on-the-go working environments. Talk to one of our rental experts today to learn more about this powerful business tool!
