THE CHALLENGE

How could Woolworths scale up training for over 100,000 team members nationwide, whilst reducing training time and increasing capabilities on the supermarket floor?

THE SOLUTION

Following on from success of VR training in the US from retailers like Walmart and Bank of America, Woolworths have partnered with Start Beyond and STRIVR to bring to life Australia's largest, at scale, VR training program; accessed in over 1,000 supermarket stores nationwide.  

Covering a wide variety of on-the-shop-floor VR simulations, the training program has been accessed by over 46,000 team members to date, and has dramatically reduced training time and costs comparable to face to face training. The most recent module, Customer Acts of Violence and Aggression, has been particularly impactful, providing team members with a safe but realistic simulation of dangerous scenarios involving violent and aggressive customers.

" The benefit is that our team members can practice the best way to act and respond in what can be challenging and possibly confronting situations. We would rather our team experience this via VR... than being put into situations for the first time in real life."
