Gamification

Description

Gamification allows the organizations to appreciate and recognize the efforts of an Analyst based on their Achievements. Using Gamification, organizations can specify 100+ parameters (for example, FCR, Incident reopened, Periodic Survey, added KRs, Manual Escalations, Response SLA, Resolution SLA), which not only measures meeting the SLAs, it also allows the organizations to measure the performance on several other factors where they can identify the efficiency of the Analysts and appreciate the initiatives they take.

Gamification process has following steps:

1. Define Goals/Badges/Achievements: Achievements are a way to give Analyst a way to get appreciation about what they have done to complete the predefined Goal. The Administrators identify the Action Items, configure the Score for Action Items, Badges for Score, and Achievements. The organizations can link the Gamification Achievements with the Analysts appraisals, give them rewards and certificates, leading up to promotions and monitory rewards.
2. Analyse day-to-day activity: Gamification elements can be applied to many of the day-to-day enterprise activities, such as training, project management, customer support, data-entry and others. The Analysts can view their Score and Badges. They can also see their Rank By Instance and Rank By Workgroup. This provides a transparent system, where the Analysts can see their performance and identify the improvement areas.
3. Reward mechanism: Reward programs can be very effective in providing optimal motivations for driving engagement. Reward mechanism increases individual productivity – the act of recognizing desired behavior increases the repetition of the desired behavior, and therefore productivity. The reinforced behavior supports the organization’s mission and key performance indicator.
