The risks that hurt a business most start with how people behave.
Harassment claims, safety incidents and compliance breaches each begin with a moment when someone skipped a step, crossed a line, or saw it and said nothing. Kiin changes what people do in that moment, and gives you the evidence.

Three risks with the same cause: how people behave.
- 01
Harassment and bullying
Claims, people leaving, and a legal duty to prevent it that becomes stricter in October 2026.
- 02
Safety
Most incidents follow a skipped step, or a concern that someone noticed and did not raise.
- 03
Compliance
A breach usually starts with one person bending a rule under pressure.
Phone for everyone. VR for the few.
Everyone plays short cases on their phone. About one person in ten also goes into VR, inside the other person’s body. You choose who.
Both are measured, and the results come to you as one report by team.
Three sites in twelve working days, with a measured change in behaviour.
A global energy services company ran Kiin at three sites in Mexico. Two weeks later, trained staff were compared with colleagues who had not taken part.
Three levels of measurement
- Self-reportedWhat people say afterwards.
- Observed in VRWhat they do in the scenario, such as where they look.
- Observed at workChange in your own HR data, usually from six months.
The figures above include one from the client’s own records.
How the study worked
- 01
They were the bystander, then the victim
Participants lived a harassment scenario as the bystander, then went back into the same moment inside the victim’s body and watched their own earlier behaviour from her point of view.
- 02
Two weeks passed
Nothing was measured on the day. Participants returned a fortnight later to a fresh simulation and had the chance to intervene as a bystander.
- 03
Against a control group
A second group ran the same test having never had the victim perspective, alongside an untrained group. The difference between them is the effect.
- 04
Behaviour was measured
Where people looked and for how long, hand and body movement, and machine-scored analysis of what they said, analysed with classical and Bayesian statistics.

See where the risk sits
A report by team and by situation shows where people stay silent or go along with it, so you know where to act. Nobody is identified.

Kiin was founded by Mel Slater, Mavi Sanchez-Vives and Bernhard Spanlang. Their peer-reviewed research showed that being in a virtual body changes how people behave afterwards.
“An excellent way to simulate situations we sometimes find hard to deal with. It is important to keep doing this, above all on sensitive subjects, to train people in how to handle them.”
