Gamified recruitment
Recruitment is a business process, which in some industries has already been gone through a gamification process with the appearance of hack-a-thons, simulations and assessment centre approaches.
In this course we will share with you how to construct your own gamified recruitment process based on your business and job requirements.

Gamified work life balance
Work life balance is the area where our chief game changer An Coppens first gained notoriety both locally as well as on national TV in Ireland and then in 2012 she published her book “Leading the Boss in the mirror” which basically gives a full overview of how she believes you can aim for your work life balance if that is indeed what you want to aim for.

Gamification Design Toolkit
Our gamification design toolkit gives you access to all of our tools and frameworks. Why they exist, what is in them and how to use them and we have created a forum to go with the toolkit, where you can ask additional questions.

Book your gamification training
Have An speak at your event
An Coppens is a regular speaker on gamification at various conferences globally. She will always consider the opportunity, just send us some information by email about the audience type and aim of the talk or workshop you would like to provide. Her speaking style is engaging and where possible also very interactive and includes game elements.
An loves speaking in front of various size audiences, and through experience, she has learned it is best to have a few ground rules in place to ensure the best possible outcome for both you, as the organiser and her as the speaker.
In order for the talk to appeal to your audience, she would need to know the following:
- Who is the target audience?
- What is the purpose of the talk or workshop?
- Their level of knowledge of the topic
- Is there a theme to follow?
- What else will be requested from the speaker in preparation for the event and during?
