The purpose of training gamification is to improve engagement, increase retention, boost motivation, and increase user adoption.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right \u2013 gamification is not just a feel-good fad whose sole purpose is to make training more fun (although there\u2019s nothing wrong with a little fun!).<\/p>\n<p>While it <em>does <\/em>create a more enjoyable training experience, the fun is the means, not the end.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another important distinction to make. It does not necessarily mean that your entire training experience is turned into one big video game with suited characters and quests.<\/p>\n<p>Something as simple as adding a progress bar to your employees\u2019 training dashboard is an example of gamification.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;WHY DOES GAMIFICATION WORK?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4122&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1110&#215;500&#8243;][vc_column_text]Like we mentioned in the last section, the \u201cfun and games\u201d of gamification is the means, not the end. When done correctly, it makes a measurable difference in training outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why it works:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Provides incentives to learning<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the main reasons why gamification works in training is because it incentivizes learning. It makes use of our brain\u2019s powerful reward system to encourage employees to continue learning.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Engages employees<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another reason for its effectiveness is its ability to boost engagement. Incentives, competition, and fun activities that break up regular day-to-day work leads to more engaged learners.<\/p>\n<p>And this is important because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rtgsolutionsgroup.com\/employee-engagement\/\">employee engagement<\/a> has many workplace benefits, from increased productivity to lower turnover.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Fosters team building<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Some of the most successful iterations of gamification make use of a little healthy competition and teamwork. In the context of training, this can be a valuable team building opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>By encouraging your employees to solve problems together and learn together, gamified training can improve the way your teams work with each other in the real world.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Increases information retention <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges in corporate training is retention of information. Unfortunately, for far too many years, training has been one-sided and dull.<\/p>\n<p>By making training interactive and exciting, gamification actually increases retention of information.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Learn by doing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another major challenge in employee training is the big divide between \u201clearning\u201d and \u201cdoing.\u201d Some versions allow for kinesthetic learning, or learning by doing.<\/p>\n<p>This way, employees can practice new techniques and ideas in the learning environment, where it\u2019s safe (and productive!) to make mistakes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;HOW TO IMPLEMENT GAMIFICATION IN YOUR EMPLOYEE TRAINING STRATEGY&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4124&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1110&#215;500&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Start with what you have<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your organization doesn\u2019t have to scrap all of its existing training in order to gamify it.

Which modules appear to be more challenging or dense?<\/p>\n<p>These questions will allow you to identify which areas of your training could use a little boost.<\/p>\n<p>Because gamification encourages learning and retention, your current pain points may be a good place to start folding in strategic gameplay elements.

In order for it to work, like anything else, you need good data behind your strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Before you set out on your gamification journey, decide what Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) you will use to measure improvements in training outcomes.
