Business #SolvedWithGames
Gamification benefits enterprises; both small and large
Gamification: the application of game design, mechanics and thinking to engage and motivate individuals and groups.
Healthy competition in business can motivate employees, attract talent, create a cooperative atmosphere and increase productivity. In the US, 61% of CEOs and CFOs take breaks during their working days to enjoy the advantages of games. But you don’t need to develop a complicated game to reap the rewards; by applying game mechanics to different situations in the workplace, both engagement and motivation can increase.
Here are some of our favourite examples of gamification in the business world:

The game also highlights the skills and characteristics the business expects from its employees and assists the company in identifying candidates with potential.
