Methodology:

The developed game-based learning method is a
combination of  3 elements:

  • High quality content equivalent to a two-day
    on-site course, with a strong practical focus
    that is useful and directly applicable to the
    work.
  • The use of gamification techniques in terms
    of story telling, ranking motivation, scoring,
    different learning and game levels, and
    incentives through recognition and awards.
    This makes the training a motivating and
    exciting learning experience. This directly
    promotes the intrinsic motivation to learn on
    your and your employees’ side.
  • Practical exercises that allow you as a
    participant to practice directly in a safe and
    motivating environment and to implement
    the practical knowledge. You will receive
    detailed feedback in the form of individual
    learning loops.

Why Merchants?

  • Useful content. Leadership, negotiation, time management, personal productivity and customer service. Skills with a direct impact.
  • Gamification techniques such as storytelling, badges and levels to generate ‘engagement’. Rankings and challenges to increase motivation in the participant.
  • Sophisticated simulators representing real situations. Safe environment for the employee to practice and receive feedback for improvement.

The employee receives individual feedback on his procedures by a unique Mentor directly during the simulation. With this multidimensional programming the participant achieves effective improvement during each simulation scene. This allows you and your employees to achieve a steep learning curve and the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice.
