Gamification – using game-play elements in a nongame activity – is trending across a range of industries. For a while, HR professionals were excited about its potential to improve employee engagement and training, but adoption rates have been slow. Isn’t it time for HR to “level up” with gamification? Consider this. In January 2016, U.S. employment engagement rates remained sluggish at 32.5 percent , and 67.5 percent of employees were not engaged or were actively disengaged from their work.
