Badges and Leaderboard for the End User

The purpose of the Leaderboard functionality is to introduce learning gamification, by enabling employees/learners to compare points and badges they have earned through learning, to other employees/learners in their team or company. Companies can combine badges with internal reward programmes to encourage employees/learners to complete their required training on time. Using badges as part of a training strategy, can enhance business performance.

The "achievements section" also provides the employees/learners with a summary of qualifications, courses and other learning initiatives completed.

    • Training Levels are defined based on the number of points obtained by a learner.
    • When a learner has obtained the number of points that fall within the range for that training level, they are classified in that Training Level.
    • For example, in order to reach the Stroller Training Level, a learner need to have between 50-99 Points awarded to them.
  • Company:

    • For example, employees/learners can view their ranking compared to everyone appointed Sales, if they are appointed in the Sales department (same node). Employees/learners can compare themselves everyone appointed in Gauteng (node directly above). Employees/learnerscan also compare themselves to the Senior Management node (top most organisational node).
  • Job
    • This compares learners who are appointed in the same Job and who fall within the same Job Family to each other.
