Today, only 31.5% of employees are considered ‘engaged’. The viability of gamification as a solution to the lack of employee engagement in the workplace has been a topic of hot debate in 2016. In my speech at our event, 'Perkbox Live: Work hard, play harder', I spoke of the growing prominence of gamification systems in HR, the reasons behind the new trends and where I see it going in the future. Notes from my speech are on our blog at blog.perkbox.co.uk.
