X's Virtual Training Center by PKO BP: Digital Learning Hub for Bank Employees
Breakthrough Virtual Reality Training Initiative by PKO Bank Polski
In partnership with Huge Thing and PKO Bank Polski, a pioneering advancement in the realm of virtual reality has been developed - a fully immersive Virtual Bank Branch. This virtual space replicates, in 1:1 scale, the latest generation of PKO Bank Polski's physical branches, offering a fully interactive and functional VR training environment.
Staff members of Poland's largest bank can now train in a safe, simulated environment before they step foot into a real branch. Utilizing Virtual Reality (VR), they can:
- Practice various customer service scenarios
- Simulate daily procedures and workflows
- Develop essential communication skills and other soft competencies
- Get acclimated to new branch layouts and customer flow patterns
This innovative use of XR-based onboarding ensures consistency, minimizes early-stage stress, and provides immediate feedback and adaptation for large, distributed organizations such as PKO.
The virtual environment isn't merely inspired by reality; it mirrors the exact layout and aesthetics of PKO's updated branch design. Key areas include:
- The front desk and reception zone
- Customer service points
- Conference and onboarding spaces
- Employee-only zones for internal procedures and exercises
The attention to detail ensures an end-user-focused design that seamlessly blends architectural accuracy with interactivity and training logistics.
Secure, scalable, and customizable, the platform supports the solution's adaptation to new processes, policies, and diverse branch types. Other notable features include:
- Enhanced security since sensitive personal data isn't required for system usage
- Multi-user synchronization for collaborative sessions
- Scalability across hundreds of locations with headset-ready kits
- Customizable updates to reflect evolving standards
Virtual branches are no longer a distant prospect. They have become a vital tool for modern banking, where training, onboarding, and digital interaction are increasingly crucial. This shift marks a new standard for customer-focused banking and employee experience, right now.
