Summary
Game-based learning (or gamification) has become integral to education, enhancing memory retention and performance. However, its potential in workplace learning and development (L&D) remains largely untapped. Studies show 83% of employees feel motivated by gamified training, compared to 61% for non-gamified options, leading to improved engagement and knowledge retention. Gen Z, the upcoming dominant workforce, has a particular affinity for game-based learning, seeking competitive and interactive training experiences. For effective L&D, organizations should leverage technology, foster peer collaboration, and adapt strategies to their workforce’s unique needs, ultimately creating a more engaging, inclusive, and productive learning environment.
