Enterprise Education

1. Context

Decathlon aimed to deepen employee awareness of corporate corruption by offering an alternative to traditional training methods. The objectives were to:

  • Expose participants to sensitive, challenging scenarios;

  • Highlight the difficulty of reporting unethical practices and allow learners to experience the full unfolding of such situations;

  • Inform learners about the internal procedures in place within the company.

2. Solution

An immersive virtual reality module called “Ethics & Compliance” was developed with Uptale.

Learners step into the role of Alix, an accountant facing a moral dilemma under a 10-second countdown, confronted with a decision that carries serious consequences.

This highly immersive format delivers tension, emotion, and engagement, far beyond what a conventional training session can offer.

3. Results

  • Over 400 employees trained since launch in November 2023

  • Module accessible in self-service mode via VR headsets, ensuring long-term availability

  • Awarded Best HR & Leadership Experience in VR to Decathlon University at the Uptale Awards

  • Looking ahead: a forthcoming VR module focused on public speaking in front of 200 people
