Organizations are concerned about how they can increase the motivation and engagement of their employees. Gamification arises in this context as an opportunity to address this issue. Thus, gamification has attracted greater attention from companies. The idea of using game elements to solve problems in their processes is starting to be seen as a solution. This study aims to analyse the gamification concept and its benefits and explain how it can be applied in human resources management. This mechanism can help companies to solve employee motivation and engagement problems in different areas of human resources. This chapter analysed eight studies in the areas of recruitment, training, team building, and administrative processes. So a SWOT analysis able to help understand the different models of gamification applied in human resources, its objectives, and its ability to create advantages for companies and their employees was constructed.

Subject area Human resources management, international human resources management. Study level/applicability The case is suitable for undergraduate or graduate/training programmes specialised in international dimensions of HRM. Case overview The study aims to evaluate the experiences of hotel employees at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok's new employee centre. This centre, called the “O-Zone”, is an example of the hotel's commitment to the well-being of its staff. On a larger scale, it is an illustration of a method to maintain employee motivation and commitment in the luxury hotel industry. The case is particularly useful to investigate as the hotel has created a unique approach to employee well-being in a large urban setting where employees experience a stressful living environment, including long commutes. This is supported by studies in the literature which reveal that burnout and stress are important factors to consider for hotel employees. Expected learning outcomes The case study allows students to discover the following key learning points: an example of a well-being initiative for employees of a luxury hotel in the Thai context; an investigation of the need for employers in luxury hotels in Thailand to attract and retain talent; and an understanding of the use of incentives at work for employee motivation in the Thai luxury hotel industry.
