Summary
Gamification for motivation & productivityIn 2018, the results from a gamification survey showed a clear influence on employee motivation and engagement from gamification.
As a matter of fact, the gamification engagement stats suggest that almost nine in 10 employees feel happier when they use gamified software at work.
On top of that, another 89% clearly states that gamification makes them productive at work; a number which, compared to 2018, is higher by only 2%. But, compared to 2014, it's higher by 10%. From a management perspective, gamification can give greater transparency in assessing performance by relying less on bulky analytics tools.
The downsides of gamification in the workplaceIt's worth considering that, despite the obvious advantages gamification in the workplace provides, there will be team members who aren't motivated by competition.
Gamification shouldn't be used as a tool to manipulate employees to work in a way they might not otherwise do.
While gamification has the potential to revolutionize the entire process of recruiting, onboarding, corporate leadership training, and HR compliance, the game design is crucial for achieving the best results.
Gamification in the warehouseThough warehouse life is fun and exciting at times, logistics can be somewhat uninspiring.
