Gamification and HR Visibility
• The gamification is an attractive
and expensive way how to
increase the visibility of Human
Resources in the organization.
In addition, it has a positive
impact on the employee
engagement and retention.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• Most employees do not like HR
processes, but they like to play
games. The gamification of HR
processes and procedures can
turn the boring experience into
a funny game that navigates
employees to the next level.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• On the other hand, it is hard to
identify the engaging idea for
most HR processes; the training
and development, the
recruitment, and the referral
recruitment are the areas where
the gamification works best.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• On the other hand, it is hard to
introduce the gamification to
administrative processes. It is
dangerous to add competitions to
administrative tasks that everyone has
to accomplish successfully. In such a
case, the company can enjoy enormous
damages. Each game or the
competition should be purely voluntary.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• The gamification can be used for
the HR Visibility because
employees talk about the new
game or the competition in the
business. If HR includes the fun
element into a match, the
engagement of workers
increases.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• Allowing employees to see
results online on the Intranet
home page is always a good
way to promote and engage
them. The same principles can
be applied to the Corporate
Recruitment Website.
Gamification and HR Visibility• Human Resources can use the
traditional gamification principles to enhance the engagement of employees into different HR Processes. The most common techniques are:– competition;– achievement;– status;– altruism;– collaboration.
Competition
• People like to compete. Employees like to compete. It is a core principle behind the performance management system. Everyone likes to be appraised as the top performer. However, the gamification can add another element to the system that is important for Human Resources.
Competition• Employees can compete who
will be the first employee to finish the entire performance appraisal cycle. Most HR Teams send reminders to complete the assessment. When employees compete, and they can see the progress of others. They can be motivated to speed up and finish the document as soon as possible.
Achievement and Status
• The achievement and status
are closely connected.
However, it is not like the
competition. Everyone who
reaches the threshold is
awarded the achievement.
Achievement and Status
• However, few selected ones can
be also awarded a higher status.
They can receive the emotional
prize that has a great value to
them. It does not need to be the
cash prize; it is purely about the
status in the organization.
Altruism and Corroboration
• However, the best principles for
Human Resources are hidden
behind the altruism and
collaboration principles. Making
people search for others to win
as a team is always the best
option that supports the team
spirit in the organization.
Altruism and Corroboration
• The team spirit should be the driving
force behind most games and
competitions run by the HR Department.
The key intention of HR should be to
form the group into the efficient team. In
such a case, it is a good example of the
excellent HR investment. It makes Human
Resources visible in the organization and
makes employees know each other
better.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• The HR Gamification is great when HR
introduces new technologies.
Employees are a diverse group where
everyone is not a technical geek. A
small game can be a great
introduction of the new technology
for employees who are worried to use
new processes, procedures, and tools.
It makes them feel comfortable.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• HR should always consider
the gamification option when
introducing a new process or
a procedure. It is always good
to make fun and allow to
employees to accommodate
to the new tool at their pace.
Gamification and HR Visibility
• A smart game increase the
attention and allows to
employees to discuss details of
the new process and explore
new options and possibilities.
The impact on the visibility of
Human Resources in the
business is positive.
