MCMC’s MetaHRise Sets Record with Award for Most Successful Metaverse Induction

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records for its innovative “First Multiplayer Metaverse Induction Programme,” known as MetaHRise. This groundbreaking digital initiative is poised to revolutionize the onboarding process for new employees at the Commission.

The accolade was presented during a ceremony attended by YBhg. Tan Sri Mohamad Salim bin Fateh Din, Executive Chairman of MCMC, and Mr. Jwan Heah, Chief Operating Officer of the Malaysia Book of Records, along with other key representatives from both organizations.

Launched in February 2024, MetaHRise is reshaping conventional human resources practices by offering new hires an interactive introduction to their roles at MCMC. The program provides an immersive experience that covers the Commission’s functions, regulatory activities, and various initiatives.

An outstanding feature of MetaHRise is the Connect Hub, a virtual learning space created to improve educational access and training for MCMC employees. The program also incorporates gamification elements to build team cohesion, with activities that assess knowledge, encourage teamwork, and enhance employee engagement.

In just a few months since its debut, MetaHRise has garnered significant attention, leading MCMC to be named “Transformative Agency of The Year” at the Festival of Innovation Awards 2024 hosted by GovInsider. This award recognizes MCMC’s commitment to digital innovation and its ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and employee engagement.
