This is a very interesting reader note. While it might sound unusual, I could see it happening. I had a complaint filed against me for inappropriate conduct. I received an email stating that HR wanted to meet with me about the situation. I was never told the details of the complaint. Then I got sick, and went on medical leave. HR continued with the investigation and found it inconclusive.

But the simple truth is that if the process has been shown to increase staff happiness, and as a result productivity. Whilst still a fairly new idea, gamification techniques in the workplace are constantly being developed and looks to be getting more innovative with each business quarter.

Every summer, I plant a small veggie garden in my Michigan backyard. Even though the location is too shady for some of the sun-loving plants, it’s the only place that works in our yard, so we (and by “we”, I mean both the plants and I) make do. This summer I experimented with the placement of several plants to see if they would thrive in the shadier part of the garden.
