People Matters Tech HR India 2024

The event

People Matters Tech HR India 2024 was held at the Leela Ambience, Gurgaon, for HR leaders.

The talk

Rrahul spoke on the Think Tank panel "From Trial Runs to Turbocharged: Using Gen AI to Enhance Work Performance", moderated by Kavita Kurup, Global Head HR, UST. Fellow panellists were Vinod Bhat, CIO & Chief Ethics Counsellor, Vistara, and Ajay Sridharan, Country Manager, India / APAC, Cornell University Office of External Education.

In Rrahul's view, the most relevant and easiest use case of the metaverse to adopt is HR onboarding and employee engagement. The question he hears most about immersive technology is how to get the budget and what the return on investment is.

Key points

Rrahul's advice for organisations adopting metaverse onboarding:

Explore the metaverse yourself. Before you onboard anyone, spend time in the metaverse so you understand what new hires will experience.
Set clear objectives. Know what you want your metaverse onboarding programme to achieve, so you can design it to meet your needs.
Choose your platform. Metaverse platforms differ in features and capabilities. Compare them and pick the one that fits your company's needs and goals.
Build your presence. Create avatars for team members, build a virtual office or workspace, and set up your company's presence.
Train your team. Decide whether to run virtual training sessions, write a user guide or let employees learn on their own, and make sure everyone has what they need to feel comfortable.
Make it interactive. Use the metaverse to improve collaboration and communication. Add team-building activities, icebreakers, games and happy hours to make onboarding memorable.
Ask for feedback. Check with new hires as you go: what is working and what could be better.
Do not drop old ways too quickly. Avoid rushing into doing everything virtually, all the time.
