Pep Boys has over 700 stores in 35 states and Puerto Rico; those stores have more than 7,000 service bays. Does over $2 billion dollars of 

business a year by focusing on meeting the needs of the do‐it‐yourself crowd as well as people who come in for routine and emergency services and 

sales to professional garages.

Associates received daily reinforcement of the monthly safety and loss prevention training.

In a quiz‐type game, associates answer quick, targeted questions related to risk, loss prevention, safety, and 

operational policies and procedures—standard questions in these areas. 

Page 11: Case Studies of Gamification in HR

If they answered correctly, they played a slot‐machine game titled “Quiz to Win” for a chance to win cash prizes

If answered incorrectly, the system immediately presented a short training piece designed to specifically address the topic covered in the initial question. Questions repeated at various intervals until the associate demonstrated mastery of the 

topic.

The entire process takes 30‐90 seconds each day and associates do it either at the beginning of a shift or during 

downtime throughout the day.

Business Results

• Voluntary participation rate of over 95 %. 

• Safety incidents and claim counts reduced by more than 45% with an increase in the number of stores and employees. 

• Reduction in shrinkage has been at a level of 55 %.

• In the case of internal loss, each time a burst of content related to employee theft is pushed out, they see at least a 60% increase in their “Integrity Pays” hotline calls, resulting in a direct reduction in inventory loss.

Page 26: Case Studies of Gamification in HR

Deloitte faced an obvious challenge. How do they get executives to take valuable time of out of their busy schedules to actually sit down and fully engage with Deloitte’s content?

Ford of Canada employs over 23,000 individuals in the fields of finance, sales and marketing, information technology, manufacturing and engineering, and human resources. This diverse workforce is 

responsible for the manufacturing and assembly operations that bring 320,000 vehicles and 425,000 engines to market. 

Page 49: Case Studies of Gamification in HR

Ford introduced a program themed around professional motor racing that motivates sales and service representatives to learn more by browsing the p2p portal, watching informational videos, downloading and consuming the latest product information, and taking web courses.

Case 5: Onboarding

Page 55: Case Studies of Gamification in HR

Engaging new hires and onboarding them into the organization is both a challenge and an opportunity for organizations today. Research has shown that a large part of an employee's long term commitment and 

longevity at an organization is influenced significantly by the experience during the first 90 days of employment.

Lessons Learned1. Chose right project for gamification2. Chose a “proven” vendor3. Start with a pilot implementation4. Include games and gamification as part of a larger curriculum5. Employee engagement does not need to be lengthy6. Keep it simple, don’t gamify everything7. Have a clear idea of what they are trying to accomplish from 

gamification initiative (goals and outcomes)8. Establish clear metrics that you’ll use to measure those 

accomplishments. 9. Take an approach that is tailored to your audience.  10. Gamification is not a one‐size‐fits all exercise—it needs to 

resonate with the appropriate motivation, goals and rewards.
