Want to learn how to increase your organization’s training effectiveness by 90 percent?

Then join us in this fun & practical session!

Bob Nelson, best-selling author (5+ million books sold) and the leading authority on employee recognition, engagement and retention will explain how to apply positive reinforcement, dubbed “The Greatest Management Principle in the World,” to your training function and classes.

Help make the connection between training, career development and employee retention: 59 percent of today’s organizations cite career development as a primary objective of their training programs and 67 percent hope that such training drives employee engagement.

Find out what you can do to create a more viable career development program that will address the needs of every worker to get ahead in his or her careers, given that a lack of career growth options is one of the leading reasons why employees leave their organizations today.

Attendees of this session will:

1) Better understand the power of positive reinforcement and how to apply that principle to training activities and the training function in your organization.

2) Learn how to better engage your employees to make training more relevant to their jobs and career aspirations.

3) Leave the session with ideas and practical strategies that can be immediately implemented back in your organization.

In this 6-hour certification program, you will use an L&D case study as you overlay the 5-step Game the System™ model for gamification learning design, gather data, and participate in problem-solving and assessment exercises.

An individual who has earned a Gamification Surveyor Certification (Level 1) has received introductory training and demonstrates the necessary understanding of the fundamentals of gamification, and has completed basic training in the trademarked and proven model for gamification learning design, that includes: 

1)  Separate games vs. gamification

6)  Map at least six game mechanics to a player journey

7)  Draft an outline of a gamified learning program and receive feedback on your concept.

The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioral psychology. By adding game mechanics to training, gamification not only increases interest, it makes training "fun."

Lunch and light snacks will be provided.

Intended Audience

This program is for L&D and HR professionals interested in using gamification to improve their learning and training programs. Whether you are a new or seasoned learning professional, this certification will help you quickly learn how to adapt a gamification strategy for your programs.
