A Key Driver for Employee Engagement and Behavioral Change

A Key Driver for Employee Engagement and Behavioral Change
Articles

According to a TalentLMS study, 89% of employees feel more productive, and 83% are more motivated when their work environment integrates gamified elements. Yet, many organizations head into the new year with outdated practices, hoping for behavioral shifts among employees and managers. This approach is as unlikely as winning the lottery. In fact, studies show that only 15% of employees worldwide are engaged at work—a clear signal that change is overdue.

Gamification offers a dynamic solution to this challenge, revolutionizing how organizations foster engagement and apply workplace learnings. By transforming tasks and objectives into interactive, game-like experiences, companies can spark enthusiasm, build accountability, and drive measurable behavioral change. The results are undeniable: according to Gallup, highly engaged teams achieve 21% higher profitability and experience a 41% decrease in absenteeism compared to their disengaged counterparts. Gamification isn't just a trend—it's a proven strategy for creating motivated, productive, and thriving workplaces.

Aerodei: Gamification Meets Inclusive Performance Management

Aerodei leverages the power of gamification to transform employee behaviors into measurable business success. By quantifying inclusive actions, the platform bridges the gap between everyday workplace practices and key business outcomes like improved employee retention, increased RFP wins, and enhanced customer activation. Aerodei doesn’t just track progress—it drives meaningful impact where it matters most.

How Aerodei Works

1. Point-Based System
Employees and managers earn points for inclusive actions, such as mentoring colleagues, fostering open communication, or creating equitable team environments. These points are tracked and displayed on a leaderboard, driving engagement and friendly competition among teams to encourage continuous improvement.

2. Friendly Competition
Teams compete to outshine others by increasing positive, inclusive behaviors. For example, a sales team might aim to lead in cross-departmental collaboration or actively recognizing contributions during meetings. This competition drives behavioral consistency and teamwork.

3. Recognition and Rewards
Aerodei ensures both big and small wins are celebrated. Recognition is immediate, reinforcing engagement. Employees and managers are acknowledged for actions like organizing weekly team-building activities (e.g., coffee/tea and bagel sessions) or implementing equitable practices that foster inclusion.

Real-Time Impact Measurement

Aerodei captures all employee actions in real time, creating a transparent record of inclusive efforts. This includes:

  • Managers hosting regular team check-ins to ensure psychological safety.
  • Implementing inclusive meeting practices, such as rotating facilitators to amplify diverse voices.
  • Organizing team feedback sessions to address challenges and uncover solutions.

Every action is quantified and linked to measurable outcomes, such as increased employee satisfaction, improved productivity, and reduced turnover, showcasing the real business value of inclusivity.The Broader Impact of Gamification on Business OutcomesGamification platforms like Aerodei go beyond engaging employees—they create lasting cultural transformation.
