Workplace Escapes is a local company started in Bakersfield, Calif., with the idea that employees are an organization’s most valuable asset but sometimes feel undervalued or unchallenged, an unintentional byproduct of rote management or training styles. Businesses, big or small, should have easy access to new ways of administering professional training sessions that not only reveal the authentic personalities of their employees, but area also view as innovative and fun. Training, fun? Yes! We’ve been listening, and we know that traditional training can get boring and lead to lackluster performance and employees feeling undervalued, so we decided to “gamify” the corporate training regimen to energize corporate teams, increase productivity, and give employees a sense of team spirit. We know you have training dollars, and we know you are interested in happy employees, retaining your team, and attracting new hires, who view your company as innovative and invested in their future. We know the biggest expense an organization can incur is in training, so we are on a mission to give companies a way to integrate training and learning with FUN so employee retention remains as high as the morale we intend to boost!
