…BUT HOW TO GAMIFY?

• No employee website or portal

• Bee Block website

• “Bee TV”

Gamification Tip #1: Give people goals. People love feeling like they are working toward something.

WHAT THE EMPLOYEES ARE SAYING…

“I just wanted to say that I love the new Bee Block app. It’s really an incentive to do well and also to sell certain

things!!! I feel like when I go to work now it’s exciting and we’re in

a game and not only are we taking care of customers but we’re striving to push those things for extra

points and it really makes it fun!! It just makes things more exciting!”

“I’m really enjoying this new contest – great idea and a lot of fun! Thanks for your work in making this an

enjoyable job.”
