Gamification is transforming business models by creating new ways to extend relationships, craft longer-term engagement, and drive customer and employee loyalty. It works because it leverages the motivations and desires that exist in all of us for community, feedback, achievement and reward.

Gamification is about amplifying the effect of an existing, core experience by applying the motivational techniques that make the task at hand even more engaging. When you gamify interactions with customers, employees, and partners, you drive more sales, catalyse stronger collaboration, get better ROI, ensure deeper loyalty , ensure higher customer satisfaction and even build customer communities.

Why Gamification works?

• Gamification provides transparent goals and incentives.
• It makes employees' actions more visible to themselves and the rest of the organization.
• It rewards and recognizes staff based on what they do, rather than role or tenure.
• It injects fun into the workplace.
• It encourages people to learn new skills while reinforcing behaviour change.
