Leveraging Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, MetaHRise immerses new hires in a virtual environment through experiential learning to explore MCMC’s roles, functions, and culture. Participants engage with innovative spaces like the MCMC Virtual Lobby and Connect Hub Learning Centre. Gamified activities such as Step-Right Up and Mind Match prioritise collaboration and critical thinking, reinforcing MCMC’s culture of innovation while preparing employees to thrive in a future-ready workforce.
The programme also streamlines onboarding processes, reducing the logistical complexities and costs associated with in-person onboarding. In today’s fast-paced environment, MetaHRise demonstrates the need for modern training methods that actively involve employees.

- By eliminating the need for physical venues, printed materials, and travel, MetaHRise significantly reduces operational costs and environmental footprint.
- The initial investment in content creation and platform development is spread across multiple future uses, making the project financially sustainable over time.
- Reusable assets, such as avatars, gamified elements, and learning templates, further enhance cost-efficiency.

4. Environmental Sustainability
By shifting from physical onboarding to virtual experiences, MetaHRise supports MCMC’s sustainability goals by:
- Reducing paper waste through paperless onboarding.

Expanding MetaHRise into Future Learning Building on its success, MCMC is expanding MetaHRise beyond onboarding to include micro-credential learning programmes. These immersive modules replicate real-world scenarios, offering practical training that equips participants with job-ready skills while promoting responsible digital behaviour. Cyberbullying, a pressing issue in Malaysia, particularly impacts underserved communities with limited digital education access. To address this, MetaHRise will include modules on cyberbullying awareness, aiming to help participants recognize, respond to, and prevent online harassment. In 2024 alone, MCMC recorded 3,199 cyberbullying-related complaints. By utilising NADI centres as hubs, MCMC ensures rural and underserved communities’ access high-quality education, benefiting 40% of Malaysia’s population who lack regular internet access. This effort bridges the digital divide, empowering individuals with tools to combat cyberbullying while fostering a safer online environment.
