Keeping a workforce engaged is critical in ensuring productivity, but it's often easier said than done, especially when an employee has been at the organization for a few years. For these employees, the initial excitement of new learning opportunities has usually worn off, and attitudes can become jaded as energy levels slump. It’s critical that management step in with new avenues for development, which is where gamification comes in. Gamification, unlike anything else, creates an immersive experience in which employee goals and organizational goals can intersect. There are many gamified applications, including game-based learning initiatives for training and development. These can be delivered through video games or virtual click-based games. Studies have shown there is a positive link between skill development and gamified applications. Gamification can also apply to employees' physical health. With more organizations concerning themselves with the whole employee, wearable-based gamified initiatives can help turn exercise into an enjoyable challenge.
