10 Astonishing Stats about Employee Engagement
This infographic (courtesy of our friends at Officevibe) looks at the poor state of employee engagement across the U.S. One stat pulled from Gartner shows how gamification is rapidly becoming a strategy for companies to improve engagement levels (and therefore employee output). But as you all know, it’s not gamification principles and mechanics themselves per sé that make work more meaningful, enjoyable, etc.- it’s all about how you apply them. The Octalysis Framework identifies Core Drive 5: Social Influence & Relatedness and Core Drive 2: Development & Accomplishment as two of the most powerful motivators for sustained employee engagement.
Share with us how your company—or you—are employing gamification techniques to keep you and your team motivated.
