Our take

Companies across the world are spending more money than ever on employee training. This is hardly surprising; employee training is vitally important to the success of a competitive workforce, and it is widely acknowledged that an effective employee development program will increase the competency of staff and boost their job satisfaction. What is surprising, though, is that most traditional training programmes simply don't work. According to a 2010 survey carried out by McKinsey & Co, only 25% of respondents found that training had improved their employee's performance.

This is what Attensi wants to change. Attensi uses a combination of technology from the world of video gaming and insights from workplace psychology to train people via immersive, 3D simulations of their workplace and work processes. Solutions are used to simulate human interactions and work processes, including interpersonal ‘soft skills’, leadership training, use of IT-systems and any form of staff certification. Whether on mobile, desktop, or VR, Attensi’s gamified simulation approach enables organisations to upskill their people at scale, with all the data required to track impact on KPIs.

Since being founded in 2012, the company has delivered its services to over 100 countries in more than 20 languages, showing an incredibly scalable business model. Investors have also spotted Attensi's potential, resulting in major funding in 2021 which Attensi is using to expand its business around the world. With big clients like Daimler Mercedes Benz, Circle K, Equinor, BCG, and ASDA already secured.
