Volkswagen AG is asking employees to cycle through an escape room experience with collaborative games and puzzles to ease anxiety over job security in the shift to electric cars.
Europe’s largest carmaker, spending €89 billion ($95 billion) on new technology through 2026, is using the project at its Wolfsburg headquarters to help switch over about 22,000 workers to making EVs. First up are around 1,200 employees assigned to work on the electric ID.3 model slated to start production during the second half of this year.
