The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a significant shift in work dynamics, driving organisations to adopt remote work. Surprisingly, remote employees were not only happier but also more productive. Despite the benefits, virtual meetings lacked the personal touch of in-person interactions. Virtual reality (VR) meetings are now gaining traction, offering a solution to this gap. Software companies are optimistic about VR’s potential to revolutionise remote meetings. In a VR meeting, participants use avatars to interact in a 3D environment, enabling a sense of connection and nonverbal communication. This technology aligns with the need for team cohesion in remote work. Challenges include employee resistance to new tech, the cost of adoption, and health risks tied to VR usage. Transitioning to VR meetings requires employee buy-in, training, cost justification, and health considerations. As technology evolves, businesses must adapt to maintain competitiveness and enhance collaboration through innovative means like VR meetings.
