Abstract

ABSTRACT The study investigates the impact of virtual reality (VR) training on employee skill development and retention within the context of the Zamfara State Ministry of Health in Gusau. As the healthcare sector faces increasing demands and complexities, innovative training approaches are crucial for employee development and retention. This research explores the effectiveness of VR training in enhancing employee skills and reducing turnover rates. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with employees who underwent VR training. The results show a significant improvement in employee skills and knowledge retention, as well as increased job satisfaction and engagement. The study demonstrates the potential of VR training to revolutionize employee development in the healthcare sector, particularly in resource-constrained settings like Zamfara State. The findings have implications for policy and practice, highlighting the need for healthcare organizations to embrace innovative training solutions to enhance employee performance and retention.
