What do you think is next for employee engagement?

September 23, 2013 by David Zinger 4 Comments

The Business Reporter, part of the Sunday Telegraph in the UK, asked 7 experts what is next for employee engagement?

Here is my abbreviated interpretation, using mostly their words, of what they believe:

Tony Thomson: A move to management by mutual consent

Frazer Rendell: Employees as players not pawns

Mark Quirk: Engagement at the center and real time measures

Claire Sporton: Amplify the voice of employees

Mark Allison: Engagement as a DNA type driver of the organization

Gary Cattermole: Stop using the buzzword and make engagement  inherent in what organizations do

Richard Lock: Get simple and move to engagement from people to engagement with people

I would agree with most of what was said. What do you think is next in the world of work for employee engagement?

I believe the future of engagement will be small, simple, significant, and sustainable as we engage every day with tactical and practical actions for the benefit of all: employees, organizations, customers, and other key stakeholders.

Employee Engagement Friday Factoid #22: The Future of Gamification

March 8, 2013 by David Zinger 4 Comments

Are you game?

In a survey by Pew Research Center, 53% of people surveyed said that, by 2020, the use of gamification will be widespread, while 42% predicted that, by 2020, gamification will not evolve to be a larger trend except in specific realms. Gamification 2020: What Is the Future of Gamification?

Commentary

There is a strong connection between employee engagement and gamification. My friend, Siddhesh Bhobe from Persistent and the CEO of eMee showed me a fine demonstration of this in Pune, India two weeks ago.

Are you using gamification where you work? Do you see yourself using gamification to increase engagement? I go with the 52% who think gamification will be widespread as the technology and design improves. Games are engaging: You only have to fly overseas and walk up down an airplane aisle on an eight hour flight to see how many people are playing games on their computers, tablets, and smartphones to recognize how pervasive gamification is becoming.

David Zinger is a global employee engagement expert who is pathetic with Angry Birds but who uses gamification to enhance and enliven his own work and wellbeing.
