This document discusses 10 common game mechanics that can be used to engage employees through gamification: badges, competition, fast feedback, transparency, onboarding, goals, leveling up, collaboration, community, and points. It provides examples of how each mechanic is used in everyday life and businesses to motivate behavior, such as Home Depot's use of badges to recognize employee skills or fitness apps using goals and feedback to encourage exercise. The document advocates using a digital gamification platform within a business to implement these mechanics in a way that maximizes employee engagement, performance, and transparency compared to more conventional paper-based systems.
The 6 Ways Starbucks Kills it on Social MediaGraham Brown
Did you know Starbucks gets more tags on social media sites like Instagram than McDonalds, Apple and Coke COMBINED?
No kidding. 19 million tags on Instagram - that's a lot of people sharing the Starbucks experience without the need for advertising.
In this new presentation I look at how Starbucks generates massive "earned media" with its legendary Brand Experience.
How Starbucks Became the Apple of CoffeeGraham Brown
If you owned stock in Starbucks and Apple, you'd be sitting on a 1000% return on your investment over the last 7 years.
The phenomenal rise of these two companies is the result of clear focus on their brand marketing strategy, one which required a conscious split from traditional BRANDING based advertising, to marketing fit for the 21st century: BRAND EXPERIENCE.
In this presentation, we'll look at the success story from the Starbucks side: a case study of how Starbucks became a loved brand like Apple and the 5 factors that underpin its class-leading marketing strategy.

Gamification of Employee Engagement & Company CultureD B
Based on a presentation made to a graduate class of students at Northeastern University. Describes how employee engagement evolved since the Taylorism era. Also explains the key role that Gamification can play within a company to increase employee engagement and improve the overall culture. Covers how to avoid the "Dark Side" of Gamification and the main problems associated with its growing popularity.
This script is from a webcast that I prepared for a Fortune 500 company earlier this year. Because of a prior booking, I was unable to be at their event live, so we decided on an interactive webcast. I added soft-core gamification elements to the webcast to demonstrate the power of even these simple techniques, and also to help keep the audience engaged with the information.

Why is a user doing a particular action in the product?
Why do users return to use your product?
What do they care about?
Digging into intrinsic motivation will help in designing compelling experiences and avoid some common pitfalls of gamification.
You have to connect Points, Badges, Levels, Leaderboards, and other reputation/reward systems that you decide with the intrinsic motivation of your user.
Keep these learnings in mind and you will be able to create a powerful gamification system for your product.

Level Up Your Talent Development with Gamification [eBook]Monica Cornetti
The Game the System™ Model guides you and your team through the process of gamified learning design. By following the 5-step plan, you are essentially assured a successful outcome.
Gamification invites people to participate and engage by integrating game mechanics and game dynamics into such things as a website, online community, marketing campaign, and as demonstrated in this book – even a traditional training and development program.
By adding game mechanics to training, Gamification not only increases interest, it makes training FUN!
The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioral psychology.
Gamification does NOT equal technology … it is really a way of thinking about the development and delivery of your training programs.

Bradford Wilkins, VP, Talent Management, Adcap
Identifying and developing top talent is a consistent struggle for organizations both large and small. Many companies invest heavily in the training and development of their employees, but what would be the return on investment if companies leveraged apprenticeships—with a modern twist, of course—executed through an integrated acquisition, development, and succession plan? That is what Adcap Network Systems, a leading Cisco integrator in the Southeast, did by creating its sales and technical apprentice programs, which resulted in a 34 percent revenue increase in the program's first year and 64 percent increase in the second. In this high-energy session, Brad Wilkins will share the strategic and tactical tools necessary to create an entry-level sales apprentice program, which you can use in your organization to successfully identify and develop superstar sales reps while increasing revenue.

Gamification is transforming the way businesses engage customers and motivate employees. By applying the same principles that inspire people to play games (achievements, status, and rewards) to websites and other online experiences, businesses can dramatically increase the size of their audience, boost engagement, and increase revenue.
This month, Kasey McCurdy, Director of Engineering at Bunchball, will discuss how game mechanics can engage your fans and users, increase customer loyalty and sales, and motivate employees and partners.
Bunchball is the industry leader in gamification and has provided solutions for customers like Warner Bros., Comcast, NBC Universal, ABC Television, Stella & Dot and LiveOps.
Kasey will cover the history of gamification, why it works and sometimes doesn’t, and how the combination of data, motivation, and gamification can strengthen loyalty. He’ll also discuss customer and employee engagement, how to motivate the unmotivated, and what the future of human motivation looks like.

The internet is one of the easiest ways to make money, particularly if you want to make money from your home, or make money in a way that costs little and returns many-fold on your investment of little or nothing. It has allowed people from all walks of life to make money—big money—and quit their day jobs (or in many cases, never start one to begin with). And surprisingly, making money on the internet does not require the sort of background, education, or experience that most people think it does. Making money on the internet has been made increasingly easier, opening the door for more and more people to sit back, relax, and let the ethereal World Wide Web make their money for them.

Zamzee Case Study - How Gamification Boosted Kids’ Physical Activity by 59%Matt Foster
Zamzee is a social enterprise on a mission to help kids and their families make physical
activity a fun part of daily life. Originally developed by HopeLab, Zamzee is an activity
meter and motivational website meant to increase physical activity levels and, in doing
so, help fight the sedentary behavior epidemic in the U.S., a key risk factor associated
with obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Bunchball’s Nitro gamification platform is a key part of the zamzee.com motivational
experience. Zamzee’s gamified website--optimized through a series of scientific studies
to initiate and sustain positive behavior change--allows kids to view their activity
levels, earn points for movement, achieve goals, select rewards and customize their
experience by designing their own avatar.
A six-month study showed that the Zamzee program increased physical activity in kids
by an average of 59% and had positive impact on risk factors associated with heart
disease and diabetes.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Gamification might sound new and shiny…but the concept
has been around for generations. In our experience
there are TEN game mechanics that are at the heart of
gamification—and over the following pages we’ll show
you just how they already appear in your everyday life.
This is simple proof that gamification has the power to
engage us and influence our behavior.
It turns out you’re already a gamification expert, and so
are your employees. That’s exactly why it can have such
a powerful impact on your organization.

Game Mechanic #1: Badges & Home Depot
Let’s start patching-up the definition of gamification at Home Depot.
The scent of sawdust, aisles of power tools and yes those iconic orange aprons.
Home Depot is a great example of gamification. Take a close look at those
fashionable aprons and you might notice a clip of patches pinned proudly on the
Sales Associate’s chest. Home Depot awards a patch to employees as they gain
credentials in specific departments or skills. Looking to spiff-up your petunias? Find
the person with a gardening patch.
BADGES motivate people. We generally crave outward recognition; gamification
simply creates a digital version. You complete a challenge assigned through your
dashboard (to add a skill or acquire more knowledge) and get a BADGE displayed on
your profile; simple as that. No more paper awards to lose, or patches to sew – it’s all
right there on your dashboard.
And BADGES can inspire conversation and idea sharing. Other employees can see
who has a specific certification and reach out for help or advice accordingly. You
always have a record of what trainings you’ve completed and skills you’ve added,
which can help accelerate your career path.
Gamification simplifies the process of earning and distributing BADGES. If you want
to ratchet up engagement, learn from Home Depot’s aprons and take it online.

Game Mechanic #2: Competition & Sibling Rivalry
Do you have a sibling? Kids? It’s easy to see our innate COMPETITIVE nature in all
walks of life – particularly sports – when siblings COMPETE. When one of my twins
scores a goal in soccer, before I can put down the camera, my other son is dribbling
the ball downfield ready to score. When one of my sons earns a swimming ribbon,
I’m surprised if I don’t see a second ribbon come home with the other.
The same goes for gamification in the work place. It ignites a healthy dose of
COMPETITION. Everyone knows who the high performers are and who has the
most badges. When a colleague earns a distinction or moves up the leaderboard you
want to prove your mettle – like my twins on the soccer field.
Just as you don’t want to pit your kids against one another on the field, workplace
COMPETITION needs to be handled with care. Including both team and individual
COMPETITION is one way to keep it friendly. Allowing team members to challenge
one another is another way to foster positive esprit de corps and engagement.
Employees thrive when elements of COMPETITION are woven in to their day-to-
day work. Ditch your infrequent COMPETITIONS and engage employees with highly
interactive gamified versions, where everyone has real-time access to current scores
and standings. Ignite a healthy does of competition by making online gamification the
field of play.

Game Mechanic #3: Fast Feedback & ‘Change Your Card’
I want you to close your eyes and imagine (don’t actually close your eyes…you’ll need
them to read) a sunny place where a good day includes traversing the monkey bars,
endless finger-painting and a post-lunch game of dodgeball. It’s elementary school–
the good life until you do something out of line and your teacher utters three words
that initiate a walk of shame.
Change. Your. Card.
Perhaps you talked out of turn, pinched your seatmate or were otherwise disruptive,
but your teacher was quick to provide FEEDBACK that your behavior earned a
demerit for the day. From the green card, to the yellow card to the dreaded red card,
you always knew where you stood. Of course, you could just as easily earn your
way back from red to green, with a star sticker for good measure. The key was for
FEEDBACK to come FAST—to instantaneously reinforce (positive/negative) behavior.
Gamification is a bit like changing a card or earning a sticker. The basic mechanic
is FAST FEEDBACK, connecting behavior to results. Are you performing better
today than yesterday? How do you compare to co-workers? What did the last five
customers say about their interactions with you today (not last week)?
When you provide your people with FAST FEEDBACK, through performance
reporting and gamification, you replace guesswork with accountability. Are you
struggling to engage your people?
Change. Your. Approach.
How are you delivering FAST FEEDBACK to your frontline employees today?

Game Mechanic #4: Transparency & The Whiteboard Competition
You know that whiteboard that sits in your break room; the one that periodically
gets a chart drawn up on it with names and scores during a sales competition? The
numbers get a little smudged and people generally forget about it until an email
crowns the winner.
The ol’ whiteboard competition was meant to keep everyone informed on
performance metrics and to recognize top performers. But it’s lackluster, limited to a
few names and easily brushed off.
Amp-up TRANSPARENCY by moving your contest or competition from the
whiteboard to a digital gamification platform. Performance strengths and weaknesses
are immediately visible – everyone knows exactly where they stand relative to goals
and to teammates. If you’re #127 on a KPI, you’d never make it onto the whiteboard,
but with a digital leaderboard you suddenly have total visibility into your relative
performance. There is no confusion about who is leading, no fussing with individual
tracking, and no smudged numbers.
Greater TRANSPARENCY also adds value to coaching sessions and goal setting.
Supervisors know which people and topics need attention, and they can even assign
gamification challenges as action items to prompt their people to add skills and
realize their potential.
Whiteboard competitions happen in every office, yet they continually fail to maximize
engagement and TRANSPARENCY. Swap this conventional tracking method for
gamification for real business impact – because seeing is believing.

Game Mechanic #5: Onboarding & Orientation
Remember summer camp drop off? Anyone with kids (or who has been a kid) and
has dropped them off at summer camp can relate. As you say goodbye and your
child walks out to the counselor, what happens next? Does the child get ushered into
a room for a PowerPoint presentation on rules and processes? Does the camp give
the child time to get bored so they think about how much they will miss their parents
and run screaming back to the mini-van? Nope.
Summer camps know that they need to engage their campers during the
ONBOARDING process. Summer camps fill the first few days with roommate
bonding activities, camp tours, games, and countless rounds of the fight song—with
different elements connecting with the needs of different individuals. Summer camp
is an early introduction to gamification.
New recruits–campers or workers–will respond to a high-energy introduction. So why
do most workplaces cling to boring classroom-style training? Why treat everyone as
though they are arriving with the same knowledge and skills, rather than a spectrum
of talents and needs? Gamification can create new, individual paths that break down
the traditional rigidity of onboarding.
Much like the color-coded map leading you through the first day of camp activities,
gamification allows organizations to customize training activities–guiding new hires
to reach maximum effectiveness in the shortest amount of time. Gamification allows
individuals to zoom past areas of existing knowledge, and focus on areas that need
the most improvement. They set their own pace, which based on third party research
and our own experience is proving to be 30-50% faster than the classroom.
Drive employee engagement and incentivize action that aligns new hires around
organizational priorities and goals with gamification. Take a page out of the summer
camp handbook for your ONBOARDING process, and your new hires won’t look
back for a mini-van escape.

Game Mechanic #6: Goals & Fitness
The sun comes up and I’m hitting the pavement on a sluggish run, when my playlist
is interrupted by a kind British lady telling me I need to kick it into high gear to reach
my time GOAL.
At the end of a workout I can see how my run stacks up against my fitness goals.
And I can quickly share my results with friends via social media…we can even
do a bit of friendly trash talking as we compete. Apps like FitBit, Nike+ and Run
Keeper gamify your workout by helping to set GOALS, track progress, and drive
accountability with social elements.
Gamification in the workplace is no different when it comes to the basic mechanic of
GOAL setting. Gamification helps set and reinforce the right GOALS. For example,
you can offer points when an employee meets their handle time goal for five
consecutive days. Or, you can amplify those points when they jointly meet GOALS
for handle time AND customer satisfaction over the same time period.
Managers can see the performance goals with which employees struggle, and then
assign them to complete related gamification challenges, recognizing them when they
exceed their targets. That keeps employees focused and injects both fun and reward
into the effort to deliver great performance.
GOALS can just as easily operate at the group level. A department manager can
establish a gamification challenge that rewards the team with the highest productivity
rate today, this week or this month. The right technology will always show
frontrunners, as well as the movers and shakers that are leaping up the leaderboard.
It’s time your organization ran with the idea of gamification.

Game Mechanic #7: Level Up & Starbucks
I’m in line getting a cup of coffee. As I stare mesmerized at the board listing dozens
of ways to get a caffeine jolt the person in front of me catches my eye…or rather their
Gold Card catches my eye.
If only I too could drink enough coffee to earn gold! The Starbucks Gold Card is
a renowned status marker amongst the caffeine junkies of the world. The basic
mechanic here is LEVELS, and LEVELING-UP.
Starbucks – like many other companies – gamified rewards years ago by creating
social hierarchy based on LEVELS of spending. Similarly gamification drives adoption
by creating LEVELS that reward users for expanding or refining skills and/or adding
to their knowledge. A contact center agent at a Financial Services company can
complete ‘Brokerage Account Level 1’ and move on to ‘Brokerage Account Level 2’.
Reaching new LEVELS opens up new deals and perks in retail. In the workplace,
new levels in gamification software open access to new challenges, skills and
rewards. LEVELS can be used to encourage exploration.
Some companies are even tying gamification levels to career paths. They define
the specific levels that must be achieved to indicate readiness to advance to a new
role or department. Employees can then seek out and complete those LEVELS to
demonstrate their interest and aptitude.
Take a page out of Starbucks’ Gold Card playbook. Introduce or expand the LEVELS
in your gamification program to make it the gold standard.

Game Mechanic #8: Collaboration & Taboo
REFRIGERATOR. REFRIGERATOR. REFRIGERATOR. You scream like they didn’t
hear you the first time; because you’re in a heated game of taboo and after the first
three clues you are at a loss. Time dwindles and your partner finally says the word
“Tupperware”. That’s the answer you were looking for.
The point is that games aren’t only about competition, they are also about inspiring
COLLABORATION. Taboo demands COLLABORATION at the coffee table, while
gamification in the workplace creates opportunities for co-workers to help one
another succeed.
For example, an employee is competing to earn a Handle Time badge. They’re
making good progress, but their percentage of silent time when interacting with
customers is much higher than average. Gamification allows the employee to see
their teammates who have already earned the Handle Time badge, so they can reach
out and get advice on how to reduce their % silence from those who’ve already met
the target.
Another place we commonly see collaboration is best practice libraries. These are
central collections of tips and tricks from top performers. Gamification allows you to
reward employees for submitting their ideas, and reviewing (and even rating) those
ideas. It drives people to those best practices and keeps them fresh.
When COLLABORATION is a central tenet of your gamification program, employees
can always find the insight or answer they seek – whether or not that’s “Tupperware”.

Game Mechanic #9: Community & Yelp
Finding the right place to eat can be a difficult task. You want somewhere good but
not too pricey. The location needs to be within walking distance. And someone in
your group is gluten free. Everyone is starving – just as tensions reach a boiling-point
someone pulls out their Yelp app. You find a 4-star, one dollar-sign café just a block
away with 200 reviews raving about the gluten free options. Crisis averted.
In that moment you rely on the expertise of a COMMUNITY of Yelp reviewers.
Gamification similarly engages participants with a communal experience. The feeling
of everyone being ‘in it together’ draws co-workers into your gamification program.
One person starts talking about a new challenge or quest, suddenly a handful of
people are sharing how they beat the quest. Or perhaps that employee pushes the
envelope and challenges their peers to out-duel them in the next challenge.
SAP is a great example of a company that has built gamification into their
COMMUNITY. SAP has more than 100,000 expert users registered for their online
COMMUNITY site – where customers search for info and ask questions and
experts provide free support. Despite the mass of experts, participation was limited;
customers were not finding what they needed.
So SAP introduced gamification points. The more answers and ideas an expert
contributes, the more points they accumulate. And those points translate into tiers –
silver, gold, platinum, etc. That’s currency these experts can use; it’s prestigious and
marketable to be a platinum COMMUNITY member.
Yelp has created superstars out of local eateries. SAP has invigorated thousands
of experts. You too can energize your workplace and gamification effort with
COMMUNITY.

Game Mechanic #10: Points & the Marble Jar
When I was a kid we had a marble jar. Do something good – a random act of
kindness, an extra chore or homework without being asked – and you were rewarded
with a marble in the jar. At a certain point you could trade in your marbles for a prize
or keep saving and accruing towards something even better.
POINTS. Marbles. Stars. Checkmarks. The marker doesn’t really matter. It’s human
nature to want to grow the balance. Almost every game has some type of POINT
system and gamification in the workplace is no different.
Take for example the last two contact centers I’ve walked through. At the first, a large
whiteboard was displayed prominently near the site entrance. On it were the names
of 5 employees, each with a series of tally marks next to their name. A few workers
had taken the time to add cheers and jeers to the board.
At the second, an enterprising supervisor created her own POINTS system called
‘Kelly Bucks’. Exceed your goals, help a teammate, etc. and earn ‘Kelly Bucks’. You
could eventually redeem enough ‘Bucks’ to go home early, select a desirable shift, or
get a goodie from Kelly’s drawer.
Both cases are simple POINTS systems, and your workplace is undoubtedly using
them now. The difference is the whiteboard and the paper ‘Bucks’ are fleeting. They
will be erased physically and mentally. No one will remember who won two months
ago. But your gamification platform will.
That record has value. It lets you track employees across time. It makes it easy
to identify consistent performers. Everyone knows where they stand at any given
moment, and exactly what they need to do to earn the next set of POINTS.
Reward positive behavior with the oldest gamification mechanic in the book…
POINTS! But move those points from some fleeting board or drawer and put them
where everyone can see them as a constant source of motivation.
Summary. We’ve walked through the 10 game mechanics.
Does every high-powered gamification program need to
use all 10? Absolutely not. You have to find the right
combination of these mechanics for your organization,
to meet your goals. That’s the game.
