Gamification: Hot HR Trend?

Are you familiar with the term 'gamification'?

According to gamification.org, gamification is "the concept of applying game-design thinking to non-game applications to make them more fun and engaging".

Apparently, companies are applying the concept of gamification to foster employee engagement and, in turn, open new doors for their respective companies. A Google search will pull up links to endless examples of ways the HR professional could apply gamification tools to motivate and inspire employees while further connecting them to the mission and vision of the organization. A win-win, right?

Have you heard of or seen this concept in action? What are your thoughts? If you are a proponent of gamification, would you consider presenting on the topic for an AHRMA event or through some other type of AHRMA communication?
