Keeping employees engaged can be challenging for organizations. With new ways of working since the pandemic such as employees working remotely some or all of the time, those challenges have increased. Finding ways for employees to interact no matter where they are working can help to boost engagement – and one of the best ways of doing this is to introduce quizzes for work.
An employee quiz is a fun and engaging activity where you can test employees’ knowledge on various subjects. It can be serious or not so serious, and can include an element of competition or gamification with a friendly rivalry.
You can use quizzes as part of your training and development evaluation, all the way through to seeing what knowledge exists on certain topics within your workforce, or just to create a fun way to spend some time together as a team.
A quiz differs from a poll or a survey because it is a great way to bring people together and interact while providing answers.
There are lots of different opportunities for organizations to use quizzes to engage employees. These include:
If you want to determine whether or not there is a need for education and training to be delivered on particular topics you will need to gauge the levels of knowledge that already exist within your employee cohort.
Once an employee has completed online training you can test their knowledge to determine whether or not the staff training was a success.
When some time has passed after training you may wish to test knowledge again to determine whether or not the information has been retained so you can implement appropriate training strategies.
When you onboard a new employee they may be overwhelmed by the amount of information you have sent them. Sending a fun quiz for employees can help you to determine whether or not you will need to follow up with them to ensure they have everything they need for a smooth start to working life with your company.
Many organizations host a regular quiz event on general knowledge topics so that employees can connect, compete and engage in a fun way. It helps with team building and increasing morale.
These types of quizzes help to establish teams, particularly when there are new people joining and the team isn’t physically located in the same place. You can find out things about other team members, such as preferences, hobbies or skills and then see if the information sticks.
These quizzes are a way to get your employees to be engaged with and enthusiastic about your corporate brand. You can ask questions on a range of topics, like corporate history, your clients, your achievements, where your offices are, etc.
If you want to start running employee quizzes but aren’t sure how to approach them, here are some office quiz ideas that are guaranteed to be fun.
