What is a Virtual Marketplace?


A virtual marketplace is an important element of gamification. It enables reward redemption with prizes and awards that an organization chooses to make available to agents. Agents can view the virtual marketplace and set their sights on a specific reward or payout that most motivates their performance. Then once they have enough coins or points, they can easily redeem their earnings for their chosen prize.

Some employees prefer to work towards smaller items to have something to continuously look forward to. Others save up their coins to buy a large item. It’s important that managers understand their employees’ interests and preferences so they can ensure that the prizes in the virtual store will actually motivate and drive performance. It’s important that the virtual marketplace be continuously updated with fresh ideas that will encourage current and new agents to be engaged.
