The challenge
Making safety meaningful worldwide
How do you deliver HSSE onboarding that feels relevant and engaging for a global workforce?
Fugro operates in high-risk environments worldwide, from vessels to labs and warehouses. The challenge was to create a unified, engaging HSSE experience that worked for employees and contractors across roles and locations, making safety relevant from day one.
The solution
Onboarding that feels like the real world
A 3D, self-guided Virtual Campus that mirrors Fugro’s operational reality. Learners explore familiar environments, interact with hotspots and engage with videos, animations and scenario-based reflections. There are no static slides or external redirects, only onboarding that feels like stepping into Fugro’s world.
WHAT SETS IT APART
TAILORED FOR EVERY LEARNER
Personalised entry points ensure that each employee or contractor only sees the content relevant to their role and location.
GLOBAL AND FUTURE-READY
Available in nine languages and designed to scale, the platform can easily be expanded with new content and campaigns as needs evolve.
At Fugro, HSSE is about caring for our people, our assets, and the environment. That’s why safety is embedded in everything we do — it’s how we protect what matters most and enable long-term success. The HSSE Navigation Tour Platform was designed with this commitment at its core, combining immersive technology with impactful learning to foster engagement, competence, and a culture of care.
Our collaboration with Cadpeople has set a new benchmark for technology-driven onboarding. Being shortlisted for the Learning Technologies Awards 2025 is a testament to our shared dedication to innovation, safety, and empowering people to speak up and stay connected.

THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS
We have mentioned the Virtual Campus a few times already, but what is it really?
Think of it as a central home for learning, a place where training, knowledge sharing and collaboration all come together. It is immersive, scalable and designed to bring people closer to the content and to each other.
MEET THE TEAM
The x factor
This project marks a milestone as the first fully developed Virtual Campus, and the first solution where all learning takes place directly on the platform instead of linking learners out to external modules.
The experience was shaped through close collaboration between Fugro and a multidisciplinary team, bringing together strategy, art direction, 3D production, development and project management to create a platform that balances creativity, usability and technical precision.

The perspective
A digital learning ecosystem
This project marks a milestone, introducing a fully realised Virtual Campus where the entire learning experience lives in one place.
Learners are no longer redirected to external modules. Instead, they explore, engage and learn directly on the platform, creating a seamless and immersive journey.
As needs grow, new scenes, content and campaigns can be added within the same secure environment, making the Virtual Campus a strong foundation for continuous, connected learning.
It is not just onboarding. It is the beginning of a new way to learn.
PSST… THERE’S MORE.
