The current labor availability and retention challenges are impacting the importance of effective and consistent on boarding practices – particularly in high-turnover fulfillment positions. Makes sense right…the faster new employees get “up to speed” the quicker they deliver value to the business. From a packaging design standpoint, how do we bring our creations in the lab to life on the production floor, fulfillment center, or across multiple locations?

In this segment, we will take a look at using Virtual Reality (VR) to decrease the new employee learning curve, bring lab designs to the production environment, and create a training platform that ensures repeatability across multiple locations.
