Lotte Construction Utilizes Metaverse for New Employee Training

Lotte Construction's virtual training center for new employees conducted through the metaverse platform 'Gather Town'

Lotte Construction announced on the 2nd that it conducted new employee training using the metaverse platform 'Gather Town.'

This training was held from the 25th to the 29th of last month in a virtual training space utilizing the metaverse to overcome the limitations of non-face-to-face education due to COVID-19 and to enhance new employees' engagement, intimacy, and bonding.

New employees from the MZ generation communicated with their peers in the virtual space using their avatars, utilizing functions such as voice chat, video connection, and screen sharing, while participating in various training programs. Additionally, Lotte Construction provided invited lectures, congratulatory messages from management, and various experiential programs such as virtual travel, sports events, and mini-games.

A new employee who participated in this training said, "I thought there would be no opportunity to get close to my peers due to COVID, but although it was a virtual space, I felt like I was training together with my peers, and unlike the online classes I took in college, I was able to focus on the training with interest."

In a survey conducted after the training, 94% of new employees responded that "the online training method using the metaverse was effective for networking among peers."

Meanwhile, Lotte Construction also utilized the metaverse platform Gather Town for the first time in the construction industry during the recruitment briefing held on August 25.
