Gamification is a new way of encouraging people to complete tasks and giving them awards in the process. One can now earn in-game achievements, badges and high scores while doing actual work on the computer, so work becomes a series of fun challenges. Implementing gamification at your workplace can lead to participants working harder, being more creative and feeling more engaged with their tasks - even though they are just doing what they would normally do in their jobs for higher rewards.

Benefits of Gamification in Human Resources
Gamification shouldn't be mistaken as a way to tell the staff that they should be playing scrabble all day instead of working. However, give them something like scrabble to play at the same time, but ensure it's while they're working. For example, if a business is online-based, who can get the most unique sign ups for one week (or one month), and making sure if there are any limitations on who and how many people may sign up during that period is a fun activity. This can definitely motivate the team members as well as increase customer satisfaction if there’s some type of perk or reward upon completion!
Making employees feel like they are a part of the team and keeping them engaged is a great way to prevent turnover. This can be extremely helpful for an organization as it helps to maintain consistency between departments and without employee turnover, companies can focus on growth within their company. As a result, HRs can use gamification to promote positive organizational culture instead of trying to take away employees which in turn allows you to keep valuable personal assets while also preventing costly turnovers. By following this gamified approach they will be able to instigate employee participation when it comes down to helping with improvements in both product development and other processes/systems as well.
