“Making the mindset switch to viewing the world as a game, creates a direct connection to the limitless source of our creativity.”
Without the use of gamification or playfulness, tasks, and goals can become boring, uninspiring, or uninteresting, which ruins engagement and motivation.
- When leaders don’t encourage creative thinking or provide opportunities for playfulness, it limits employees’ ability to come up with new ideas or approaches.
- Without interactive and engaging learning techniques, people struggle to retain knowledge or become unwilling to learn new things.
- Playfulness can encourage collaboration and teamwork, which is often missing in environments without it.
- Without a positive and engaging work environment, employee morale can suffer, leading to decreased productivity and increased turnover.
