In partnership with KeepWOL, the team incorporated our game-centric talent development platform. The platform's Play, Reflect, & Grow process uses live multiplayer web-based games, AI technology, and end-to-end learning integration to deeply understand employees, improve soft skills, build inclusive teams, and revitalize the corporate culture.
We hosted a customized event for the Google care specialist team that fully integrated KeepWOL’s values with Google’s team development and bonding goals. We tapped into the team’s curiosity by prompting individuals to wonder out loud, ask questions, and get to know their peers on a deeper, authentic level.
Our goal was to help each employee recognize their potential to make a difference in the lives of others by treating one other as valued and worthy human beings. By demonstrating reverence, team members developed the courage to push themselves beyond their comfort zones.
By the end of Google’s KeepWOL bonding event, participants felt a deep sense of connectedness, belonging, and psychological safety among their coworkers.
“It's a simple platform that is easy to jump in and start using immediately. It forced the entire team to pay attention. Pushed members to engage and allowed the space to bring up and understand team issues that some are afraid to bring up on their own. Dedicate the time and you'll see improved team communication and engagement.”
Before starting KeepWOL sessions, the team took a benchmark assessment collecting quantifiable data in KeepWOL's 5 pillar areas: Cultural Intelligence, Engagement, Team Dynamics, Innovation, and Job Satisfaction. The team then began weekly sessions using our platform's Play, Reflect, and Grow process.
Hosted by a certified facilitator, the team played a new game from KeepWOL's library of psychology-based games every week for 75 minutes.
After each game, participants rated the personal, professional, and group impact. Personal and team development goals were based on game outcomes. They selected the focal area for their next game.
Participants received personalized educational content to assist in achieving goals. They used their dashboard to upvote and prioritize team goals.
Throughout each session, team members played games prompting openness about their personal lives, career, daily job struggles, passions, and interests - much more than what would typically be shared with colleagues. KeepWOL's methodology of meeting every employee “where they are” encouraged even the most introverted team member to let their guard down and feel comfortable sharing.
A benchmark assessment was taken again after 2 months for an impact check. KeepWOL's process took effect quickly, providing significant improvement across the board with evident results after only 2 months of use.
Positive movement in all 5 pillar areas
