THE ENGAGEMENT PROBLEMWorkplace learning’s biggest pain point!
A company with highly-engaged employees can achieve a financial performance four times greater than companies with poor engagement. [A Watson Wyatt study of 115 companies]
Engaged employees take an average of 2.69 sick days per year, whilst the disengaged take 6.19. [Hay Group]
92% of new software projects are
classified as failures. The #1 reason for
software implementation failures is due to
internal resistance and a lack of
communication. [CLO Media]
1/3 of all organisations fail to make a
positive impact with
their LMS. [eLearnity]
TRAINING ENGAGEMENT IS…A measurable degree of an employee’s positive
or negative emotional attachment to their training, that profoundly influences their willingness to learn and perform at work.
Learning Management Systems…

• 1/3 of those surveyed would not recommend their LMS to a colleague.• 38% of those surveyed are actively looking to replace their current LMS.

Did You Know: A survey of 28,000 individuals found that a personal commitment to an employer’s core values is the top driver of employee engagement. [Source: HR.com]
The following elements should ‘fuel’ your learning technologies solution:
• Your brand imagery• Your organisational values and
principles• Your organisational
philosophy/vision• Your organisational mission• The terminology your
organisation uses

want to belong to something bigger than themselves.
EPIC MEANING TIPS:1. Name Your Learning Technologies Solution

4. Brand Your Solution Accordingly (imagery, badges, terminology, etc.)!
PERSONALISATIONSection #1

This time it’s personal…Meaning drives motivation and motivation drives action. But how do you make your learning
meaningful? That’s easy: for something to have meaning it needs to be relevant to your audience.

GAMIFICATIONSection #2
Did You Know: According to a University of Colorado study, those who took game-based learning (rather than typical training content), scored 14% higher in their assessments and increased their retention by 9%.
Gamificationnoun[mass noun] the application of typical elements of game playing (e.g. point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) to non gaming scenarios.
GAMIFICATION IN ACTIONSection #2
‘Badges’ that serve as virtual rewards for
learners’ hard work.
‘Achievements’ that reward learner
interactions.
The use of personalised ‘Praise Badges’ to
reward learners’ positive contributions.
Building ‘Levels’ to give a sense of progression
and status.
Adding ‘Unlockable’ elements to cultivate
curiosity.
Granting a learner ‘Expert’ status on a
particular subject matter).
Delivering ‘Quests’, rather than content.
Utilise ‘Leaderboards’ to encourage healthy
competition among learners.
Adding a ‘Timer ’ to specific learning activities.
SOCIAL LEARNINGSection #3
Did You Know: According to Babcock, Fortune 500 companies lose roughly $31.5bn a year by failing to share knowledge.
Social learning motivates learners as they make
their knowledge visible to others.
This grants visibility to your internal champions.
And promotes a culture of expertise.
Social learning provides opportunities for
information reinforcement.
Social learning ensures that knowledge is cascaded
throughout your organisation.
It also helps organisations to capture and retain
knowledge – even once ‘experts’ have left your
business.
Social learning allows your learners to apply their
training to contexts
