Onboarding process
Gamification and games for your onboarding process

- Great employee onboarding can improve employee retention by 82%
- 1 in 5 new hires is unlikely to recommend an employer
- Addressing development during onboarding increases satisfaction by 3.5x
- Soliciting new hires’feedback improves relationships by 91%
Onboarding process: why use games and escape rooms?
Games are the best icebreakers
Games offer a less judgemental and more permissive environment than traditional meetings and workshops. Requiring collaboration to be completed, our onboarding games perfectly play their icebreaker role and bring people to meet their new colleagues.
Together, they get to fulfil a mission and leave their first days with a team success as a core memory. It also allows them to share their fears and hopes about their new position and the company, breaking the feeling of isolation some of us can experience.
Make new employees operational quickly
Games, escape rooms, and more generally gamification, are great choices to modernize your onboarding processes and efficiently deliver information, especially the complex, cumbersome or critical kind. 58% of organizations say their onboarding program is focused on processes and paperwork.
Immersion being a central game design concept and priority, games and escape rooms are a compelling and reliable support to guide new employees through their new work environment: workplace, administrative procedures, tools, organization chart, corporate and IT charter, etc. You can then choose to let the players discover everything at their own pace through a gamified digital journey, emphasize interaction with the colleagues through an on-site escape room, or even do both!
Employer brand loyalty starts at onboarding
Why are games or escape rooms such a great brand communication tool? They convey your identity and message at every level of their design:
- The assets (printed sheets, notebooks, boxes, labels, guides, scenery decoration, costumes, digital interface, sound and so on) can all be customized to match your brand identity and display a strong organizational unity.
- The gameplay (game mechanics, difficulty, pace, progression, etc.) can be adjusted to reflect the way you want to welcome new employees
- The content (storyline, riddles, assets, rewards, animation, debrief, etc.) can be finetuned to deliver your message in the most precise and sustainable way according to your audience.
All of this ensures that your new employees will feel expected, welcome, informed, motivated and armed to take on their new position!
