Walmart is using VR to help decide who should get promotions
Walmart has used VR to test how well 10,000 workers perform in challenging situations—data that informs whether those employees will be promoted to management positions.
Walmart, the largest private employer in the U.S. with 1.5 million workers, is using virtual reality to help find candidates for management positions in all 4,600 stores, the Wall Street Journal reported. The VR headsets and the assessment program were designed by Strivr, a Menlo Park, Calif.-based company.
