Gamification helps users improve their problem solving and negotiation skills, analytical skills, strategic thinking, attention, cognition, teamwork, and creativity. Also, games increase learner engagement and readers apply these acquired skills in their job instantly. Further, this trend is responsible for maintaining the attrition level in companies since it engages the employees and makes learning more interesting.
