Did you come across The National Education Policy 2020? It recognizes the importance of gamification in education and training. The policy states that this technology can be used to enhance learning outcomes and improve student engagement. It recommends using gamification-based training in schools and universities to make learning fun and interactive.
Gamification involves incorporating game-like elements, such as points, badges, and leaderboards, into non-game contexts to motivate and engage users. The point of gamification is to inspire users to engage with the content, especially with tasks that are not enjoyable, such as an in-depth training program or compliance training. It has gained so much importance that even businesses have adopted gamification-based training to improve employee engagement and productivity, train employees on various subjects and processes, and customer loyalty.
Gamification in Business Training
Engaging with the traditional training modules is difficult as the content is often wordy and hard to comprehend. So, trainers leverage different learning tools at their disposal to help trainees retain information in the long run. However, the traditional tools didn’t do enough, often leading to inferior learning outcomes. This is when companies adapted gamification-based training methods in learning and development, corporate sessions, etc.
The role of this technique also extends to creating engaging training programs in the critical area of any business, i.e., customer support services. By creating interactive training modules that simulate real-life scenarios, businesses impart better product or service-related information to new hires or refresher training to existing staff. People can recall such information for a long-time and use it to their advantage in real-life scenarios, such as when they need to take calls or reply to customers on different communication channels like email or chat. It helps improve the quality of customer service while also enhancing the skillset of employees and setting them on a path to achieve more success professionally.

They went above and beyond to deliver exceptional care using the knowledge warehouse on LMS. They also adhered to the golden hour rule to address urgent cases with utmost care and connect them with the nearest ambulance drivers faster — to provide timely assistance and prevent fatalities.
