9% Productivity KPIs increase
“Employees want feedback that is as immediate as possible, almost real-time.”

Gamification and coaching ups employee performance

Barona saw employees care about feedback, offered quickly. A contrast to monthly performance discussions. They wanted something more than a results tracker. They wanted to see goals and achievements in a graphical context, a gamified narrative of missions, learnings, and challenges. They accepted a shift from cash incentives to a program based on points and badges gained by reaching goals that could be redeemed for items in a virtual store.

Employees saw this as a way for more focused and frequent dialogs with their managers. They could learn from their managers on how to close performance gaps or strengthen skills while the work-related data was fresh.

For employees to better tackle tasks, Centrical microlearning capabilities were used for bite-sized learning easily absorbed, retained and applied. Along with a collaboration between employee and manager, Centrical’s effectiveness was evidenced by as much as a 9% growth in KPI performance.

"We are feedback junkies!"
