How to gamify learning and development with Dan Paech of Loumee
About the episode
This episode focuses on gamification in learning and development. Providing services in learning and development is a challenging task as it is. Adding remote-first setups on top of it makes it even more challenging. I invited Dan Paech from Loumee to discuss how their company is tackling these challenges through gamifying the learning experience for teams.

Quotes from the show
Games are an excellent way for teams to get together, do something fun, learn something new, and practice different skills, all of which are essential for any workplace.
Leaders are worried about engagement. That is a big problem in teams, especially remote and distributed ones. If people become disengaged, their productivity often decreases, and they often leave.
During the pandemic, many people realized that things could suddenly go wrong and can be taken away from you that you took for granted. So you shouldn't take things for granted, make the most of what you have when you have them, and try and strive to improve your well-being and those around you.
