Our HR advisors, Kari and Tonje, have developed a learning game to help employees embrace each other’s differences and collaborate effectively.

Challenges in the workplace

Differences in the workplace can often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Small talk and disagreements can quickly escalate if employees lack good communication and understanding of each other. Unfortunately, isolated groups often fight for their own interests in uncertain situations. This can result in employees getting stuck in old habits, leading to stagnation both for individuals and the organization. Rumors spread quickly, negatively impacting the organization’s reputation, leading to high employee turnover and few applicants for positions.

A crucial indicator for creating a pleasant work environment is giving employees the opportunity to influence decisions regarding their tasks and how they are performed. According to Statistics Norway (SSB), 19 percent of employed people in Norway feel they have poor opportunities to utilize and develop their skills at work.

Employee engagement and job satisfaction through game-based learning

Wittario believes that asking questions, both to others and oneself, leads to development, learning, and increased awareness. Through meaningful conversations and reflections, new insights are achieved. Engaging learning games can make learning enjoyable while allowing employees to develop their skills. Building a culture involves knowing each other well, including, accepting, and respecting each other, establishing clear role distributions and expectations, and having a common understanding of each individual in the organization. Learning games provide employees the opportunity to build trust, increase creativity, agree on roles, and understand each other better in a simple way.

For creating psychological safety and a positive work environment, open communication is crucial in an organization. Through good communication, employee involvement, openness, and a shared understanding, employees will feel a sense of belonging, recognition, and pride in their work. This leads to lower employee turnover and enhances the organization’s brand positively. The number of applications from qualified candidates increases, according to Wittario’s HR advisors, Tonje and Kari.
