This year, we wanted to see how much the numbers have changed.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, 81% of respondents said that gamification provided a sense of belonging and purpose in the workplace. Today, the numbers look slightly higher:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13537 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-employee-psychology.png\" alt=\"Gamification and employee psychology - TalentLMS\" width=\"850\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-employee-psychology.png 850w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-employee-psychology-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-employee-psychology-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-employee-psychology-810x568.png 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But it goes much deeper. In the previous section, you saw how eLearning gamification creates motivated learners. Now, we can see how gamified software can affect employee psychology and even can be associated with feelings of happiness.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, the gamification engagement stats suggest that almost 9 in 10 employees feel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/library\/promoting-health-well-being-at-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">happier when they use gamified software at work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13539 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-happier-employees.png\" alt=\"Gamification and employee happiness - TalentLMS\" width=\"600\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-happier-employees.png 600w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gamification-happier-employees-300x108.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Happy staff equals a happy company.

However, when it is implemented it seems to be motivating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gamification, however, doesn\u2019t only increase engagement between a company and its workforce. According to our findings, it also engages them with the actual gamified tool itself.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, <strong>85% said they\u2019d spend more time on an app or software<\/strong> <strong>because of gamification elements<\/strong>.

Now, let\u2019s examine how it helps them on a practical level. How do employees respond to gamification when it comes to their actual job and day-to-day tasks?<\/p>\n<p>The news is still good.
