Software applications are used for online training and education lessons and those are known as Learning Management Software (LMS). It is hectic to train every time when a HR hires a new employee and gamification for onboarding is a great method for training new employees in an organization, thus becoming a popular choice among organizations and educational institutions.
On every new hiring, HR needs to conduct their induction and onboarding process. This often means that new hires have to follow long, convoluted induction sessions, apart from complying with many other final onboarding processes. At this point, LMS makes it easier to train employees. On each hiring employee can be trained and inducted with the LMS.
Especially for HR, this feature of accessibility in an LMS is truly beneficial. The employee has the feasibility to access training sessions anywhere at any time where lessons can be managed by the organization.
No doubt LMS is a savior. LMS transforms the tedious onboarding process into a thorough, rapid, interactive, and rewarding set of activities. It helps foster organizational learning by enabling HR administrators to customize observed themes and multimedia to create a positive and inspiring environment for new hires.
It helps HR to identify talent as they can track trainees’ progress. It helps organizations to allocate the trainee to the correct work profile. Also, it further helps to provide additional training to make them more skilled and resourceful. Whereas other trainees who are lagging behind can get regular feedbacks which will ensure that they do their best to improve on their training and courses.
The onboarding task is not easy, many employees join on different dates and belong to different locations and time zones. And to add to the complications, several new hires may demand a flexible training schedule. At this point, it is hard for HR to manage everything and more engaging yet easy to manage and effective onboarding experience for the new hires. Why not go for gamification onboarding?
This LMS is designed as an online social game, so that the new hire can learn anytime, anywhere even before the day of joining. It provides a hassle-free and delightful orientation and onboarding experience that can be tailored to the needs of your company.
The LMS Analytics is actually a storytelling mechanism, that constantly stays on a user’s page and keeps showing who is directly below and above them in the overall score. LMS can be customized to show the score of only two users directly above them. It gives the learner accomplishable goals that are within grasp, and also the ones that they can naturally set for themselves.
When using gamification in an onboarding program, this tool helps the learners set their own unique competition. Gamification Onboarding gravitate towards thinking to “out-perform” the ones above them, which is often its own reward. Users who are not competitive, when faced with low scores self-consciously gravitate towards completing the training to be at par with their colleagues. Overachievers meanwhile keep fighting for the #1 spot. The bottom-line of all this simply translates into learners becoming aggressive enough to complete training, just because their colleagues are doing it.
As LMS makes it easier to train employees, it is an effective form of training as well. People like to be acknowledged when they complete smaller milestones. And if their organizations are the first to congratulate them, nothing like it. This acknowledgment of the merit of their accomplishments fuels their desire to progress in the learning process, no matter how interesting or dull and boring the material may or may not be. Badges work in a way that triggers are set within the reporting function, and eventually, they get sent to learners when they have done something of note. There is also an option to show these on social media where their ‘friends’ can ‘like’ or ‘comment’ on their public profile. These badges can be set on the scoreboard based on predetermined criteria selected by the admin.

overwhelmed as the new employees are joining on different dates and also because they are located across different locations and time zones.

Leverage the Game Levers to Engage Learners
Scoreboard tells the story
The LMS Scoreboard is actually a storytelling mechanism, that constantly stays on a user’s page and keeps showing who is directly below and above them in overall score. The scoreboard can be customized to show the score of only two users directly above them. This gives the learner accomplishable goals that are within grasp, and also the ones that they can naturally set for themselves.
When using gamification in onboarding, scoreboards help the learners set their own unique competition and gravitate towards thinking to “out-perform” the ones above them, which is often its own reward. Users who are not competitive, when faced with low scores self-consciously gravitate towards completing the training to be at par with the colleagues. Over achievers meanwhile keep fighting for the #1 spot. The bottom-line of all this simply translates into learners becoming aggressive enough to complete training, just because their colleagues are doing it.
Badges boost learner engagement
Badges provide recognition for smaller accomplishments. People like to be acknowledged, when they complete smaller milestones. And if their organizations are the first to congratulate them, nothing like it. This acknowledgement of the merit of their accomplishments fuels their desire to progress in the learning process, no matter how interesting or dull and boring the material may or may not be.
Badges work in a way that triggers are set within the reporting function, and eventually they get sent to learners when they have done something of note. There is also an option to show these on social media where their ‘friends’ can ‘like’ or ‘comment’ on their public profile. These badges can be set on the scoreboard based on predetermined criteria selected by admin.
Points empower knowledge sharing in groups
Points can be assigned to learners through criteria decided by the LMS admin. To cite an example, the amount of ‘likes’ the user gets on a question he answers or for that matter the number of questions answered. This helps the organization in two ways, first it helps build a robust knowledge database within the community and second it encourages a positive learning environment where users share their knowledge to help others.
It’s like a win-win situation where both, the community members and the user himself, benefit. It is seen that implementing a points-based system helps shape and mold user’s behavior toward more fruitful results. It helps them gain the credit they seek for their knowledge and abilities.
Integrating with LMS
Our LMS does not come with scoreboards, point systems and leaderboards i.e. gamification in-built, but these modules can be customized as per client’s requirements. We can customize and extend it to our LMS to match your (client’s) need to the T. These are just a few of the many examples of gamification that you can implement into your company’s onboarding process. By doing so, you have the potential to build a team of employees that are much more engaged and productive within the workplace.
