In the article, Cherrie details his own humble beginnings on a sales team in the retail industry, which “was struggling to stay motivated. As a last-ditch effort to engage our team, we created a game that assigned points to sales and we tracked this in an Excel spreadsheet. This simple act was the first step to making work fun again. As the team transformed more of our sales goals into games and contests, we steadily improved our performance.”

Cherrie went on to offer several tips on what business leaders can do to integrate gamification in the workplace.
