Company mission
Bodyswaps' mission is to empowers organisations of all sizes to upskill their workforce for the new world of work.
Our take
Automation, AI, and digital technologies have accelerated the pace of change in the world of work. Large organisations are facing mission-critical challenges: developing soft skills at scale, creating fairness and opportunity for all and making the workplace more collaborative and humane.
Bodyswaps’ scenarios create a safe and realistic space where learners can practice soft skills, with AI-enabled analytical feedback to optimise personal improvement. The technology offers users the ability to record themselves having difficult conversations, which they can then watch back and review. The beauty of the headset means users can join sessions and practice from anywhere, privately and in their own time.
Bodyswaps are working with organisations such as Orange, London Screen Academy and the UN Refugee Agency on topics like leadership, communication and interview skills. Looking ahead, the company are expanding their bespoke company-specific services, tailored to the individual needs of a business.
