As a leader, you might think play has no place at the office. But letting your team goof off a bit might just boost innovation. ℹ️ Studies show that multiplayer video games can boost productivity by 20%... ...compared to traditional team-building activities. Here's why you should gamify your team-building. ✅ Video games foster real collaboration as teammates work together to achieve shared goals. ✅ They improve problem-solving skills by presenting complex challenges to tackle as a unit. ✅ Most importantly, they inject some much-needed fun into the workday! Take our experience... At Greensighter we hosted an Age of Empire tournament last week. Not only did we have a blast, but we noticed our team was more engaged and communicating better. -- I'm curious to hear from you. Have you tried gaming events for team building? What do you play? #PlayAtWork #InnovationThroughCuriosity #LeadershipLessons #ProductivityHacks #GamifyYourTeam
