The new era of employee training: how intranet-based, gamified learning can drive retention

How to build employee engagement with personalized, gamified training

True engagement matters. Engaged employees care about their performance and connect with their employer on a deeper level, but does engagement really make a difference to your ROI? 

The short answer is a resounding yes. 

Employee engagement matters so much that research for the Harvard Review by analyst Jacob Morgan shows that employers who focused on employee experience had two times the average revenue and four times the average profit compared to employers who did not prioritize employee experience.

Engaged employees feel a strong connection to their work because they feel valued. Engaged employees want to show up and contribute to their team's success because they are invested

Building experiences that matter, one employee at a time

Building an internal structure of engagement can be challenging because each employee has unique needs. But meeting multiple, distinct needs creates an environment where every employee feels recognized and valued. And feeling valued leads directly to increased engagement—and productivity.

But engagement can’t be forced: true engagement requires building a connection.

The Disconnect Solution

Connecting with a team of individuals requires forethought and planning because each employee brings unique skill gaps and different ways of learning to the team. To genuinely address each individual learning need, you must provide the specific learning to close each skill gap.

Responding to those unique needs lets you create unparalleled connections to your team, allowing every employee to feel valued. Meeting each employee’s need, from upskilling to sales enablement, establishes connections that pave the way for genuine employee engagement.

Providing solutions to the unique needs of each team member when and where they need it isn’t as complex as it sounds. As product marketing manager Lisa Capra of LumApps notes, LumApps Learning lets you build customizable, employee-centric professional learning strategies that give each employee exactly what they need. 

By introducing tailor-made learning paths, you can create connections that resonate equally with each employee and build true engagement one connection at a time. Even better? Each innovative feature of LumApps Learning is built right into your own existing intranet, meaning every employee can find what they need within their daily workflow.
