Gamifying your employee loyalty program can be a great way to engage your workforce and collect data to strengthen your team. Here are a few ways to make your gamification program the best it can be.
- Set Specific Goals: Setting specific goals for a gamification program is key. Don't send your organization on a wild-goose chase, send your employees to play games. Know what you want out of the program so you can invest time and money wisely.
- Provide Relevant Rewards: Give employees what they want and tangible rewards they can use! Flexible reward ideas like gift cards to popular retailers like The Cheesecake Factory and Boston Market make a stress-free and budget friendly gift idea.
- Solicit Feedback: Make sure your employees feel comfortable providing feedback for the program. Gamification should be fun and competitive. If it's not, the participants should be able to tell you.
- Analyze the Data: Gamification programs should be tracked. The data needs to be analyzed to ensure that you are actually getting the ROI intended. Don't continue to invest in a program if it's not working.
