# Integrate XR Metrics into Performance Reviews

## Integrate XR Metrics into Performance Reviews

**Action:** Make XR achievements visible and meaningful by tying them to career progression:
- Use **VR scenario completions** to signal readiness for customer-facing roles.
- Use **AR-guided task times** to determine technical certifications.

**Expected outcome:** increased employee motivation and **verifiable capability tracking** — a direct antidote to the completion-rate theater of [[contrarian-training-vs-capability|the capability mirage]]. Step 5 of the [[framework-xr-implementation|XR Implementation Strategy]].
