Remember the rush of conquering levels and collecting coins in Super Mario Bros? ???? That's the power of gamification, and it's not just for childhood memories anymore. ? In the workplace, gamification is popping up everywhere – leaderboards for ideas, points for innovation, even significant financial rewards attached to contributions. But is it truly a productivity booster or a recipe for unhealthy competition? I've been diving deep into this topic lately, and here's what I've discovered: ?? The thrill of the win:?Gamification can?motivate?individuals and teams to push further,?driving engagement and creativity. ? But watch out for pitfalls:?Unbalanced competition,?pressure to perform,?and unfair rewards can lead to resentment and a "me vs.?them" mentality. So, how can organisations leverage the good side of gamification? Check out the latest edition of The Lightbox newsletter, where I explore this topic, including case studies and insights! What are your thoughts on gamification in the workplace? Have you seen any interesting examples?

How do you know if your HR needs a tune-up? Here are 5 key signs to watch out for: 1. High Turnover: Is your revolving door constantly spinning? Frequent employee departures are a major red flag. It indicates underlying issues with recruitment, onboarding, engagement, or even management practices. 2. Low Employee Engagement: Are your employees just going through the motions? Disengaged employees are less productive, creative, and innovative, resulting in lost revenue and missed opportunities. 3. Outdated Practices: Is your HR stuck in the Stone Age? Relying on outdated policies, manual processes, and fragmented technology can hinder efficiency, compliance, and employee satisfaction. 4. Lack of Strategic Alignment: Does your HR function operate in a silo? Your HR strategy should be tightly aligned with your overall strategy and business goals, ensuring your talent management directly supports organisational objectives. 5. Compliance Concerns: Are you keeping up with the ever-changing legal landscape? Non-compliance with HR regulations can result in costly fines and reputational damage. Ignoring these signs can be detrimental to your organisation's health. But the good news is, a comprehensive HR tune-up can revitalise your people engine and drive significant improvements!
