“While gamification has traditionally been applied in training and customer engagement, there is a new trend towards applying it internally to the workplace: enterprise gamification. Enterprise gamification is gamification directed inward at an organization; employers use gamification for employees rather than customers. ” ~ Zoë Epstein via http://enterprise-gamification.com
“Gamification takes the essence of games — attributes such as fun, play, transparency, design and competition — and applies these to a range of real-world processes inside an organization, including learning & development. The technology research firm Gartner, Inc. predicts gamification will be used in 25 percent of redesigned business processes by 2015, this will grow to more than a $2.8 billion business by 2016, and 70 percent of Global 2000 businesses will be managing at least one “gamified” application or system by 2014.” ~ blogs.hbr.org/
Gamification at work is here to stay and will evolve over the years for enhanced employee engagement and training.
