1. Fasters skill training
Gamification can be integrated with corporate training, allowing employees to earn points. Applying game mechanics to the training is way more engaging than reading papers! Quizzes and other methods are much more stimulating, efficient and have better measurable results.
These techniques aim to construct real-life scenarios and challenges in a risk-free learning environment. Gamification makes the experience more engaging, practical, and fun! Daily goals and badges also make employees excited about learning more!
Also, the fact that people learn through self-driven interactive training activities creates a more rewarding and meaningful experience.
2. Provides clear Call-to-Actions
Gamification provides employees with performance feedback, but also guidance as to what they should do next. This is also very useful for new hire onboarding. Employees are always presented with a series of steps to follow. With direct action hints employees know exactly what and when to do something. They know how they can improve, which enables an improved performance.
3. Boosts employees’ motivation and increases engagement
As social animals, human beings need socialization and to feel validated. This leads to a constant need for recognition of their efforts in order to feel happy with their work.
Adding game elements to the workplace allows employees to be recognized based on comparative improvement, and to be rewarded for completing tasks! This encourages everyone to become a better performer, increasing motivation and engagement!

5. Increases employees’ retention and loyalty
