The emergence of gamification in corporate training<\/a><\/strong> has come to be the solution to one of the big problems businesses nowadays need to face: lack of motivation of employees. And without motivation, new concerns arise: lack of commitment, negative attitude, conformism, decrease in personal productivity, bad working environment…<\/p>\n

Hence, employee motivation<\/strong> has become a new and powerful field of research within corporate training. HR departments know this and so have tried everything until they hit the nail on the head: gamifying companies.<\/p>\n

In a business network in which only 13% of employees feel motivated, according to this study by Gallup<\/a>, the game becomes the most powerful tool in corporate training if this trend is to be changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cGamifying<\/em>\u201d refers to the use of the principles and mechanics of the game in situations which have nothing to do with it. But, why are gamification techniques so effective<\/strong> in motivating employees? Here are five important reasons:<\/p>\n

1. They build commitment and improve engagement<\/h2>\n

The employee becomes a player with goals and tasks to accomplish within a framework of competition with others. This competition (through leaderboards or rankings) to be the best and avoid being last generates greater commitment and engagement<\/strong> in the worker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. They involve through personal recognition<\/h2>\n

One of the most powerful elements of gamification<\/strong> are reward systems. There is nothing more motivating than knowing your actions and decisions can lead to personal recognition and the recognition of one’s peers as well.<\/p>\n

3. They encourage proactiveness and interaction<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s the social element of gamification<\/a>. Employees interact with each other, share their experiences and generate new links which ultimately improve working environment and encourage proactiveness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. They amuse, entertain and captivate<\/h2>\n

Gamification is based on the game, and if you\u2019ve been a gamer, you know it amuses, entertains and captivates. Fun must become a goal in itself in order to find the motivation<\/strong> we are looking for in an employee.<\/p>\n

5. They raise motivation and productivity<\/h2>\n

That is the final goal of gamification and corporate training. Having a motivated employee is directly related to their performance and productivity<\/strong>. And HR departments are more certain about it with each passing day.<\/p>\n
