Proposing a tool; an online educational game that helps hotels to educate their employees about more sustainable behaviour. 87% of millennials say that training and development is crucial to a job. Gamification helps to increase skill based knowledge by 14%, overall retention rate by 9% and effort put in tasks employees are performing by 51%. Keeping employees engaged further helps to reduce employee turnover. ​ 

Learning through games is not just more engaging. 2015 study showed that energy information embedded in a game can change people’s behaviour towards energy saving significantly. People who played a game with embedded environmental information for only 30mins remembered turning off 2 more appliances on average out of 5 when leaving the room.

​

By incorporating short, engaging and memorable game into employee training, employees will be made aware of the consequences of their potential wasteful actions. Besides reducing hotel's pollution footprint, this helps to reduce energy and water usage and deals with paper and plastic and other resources waste in all areas of hotel employment. Making employees aware of the impact their everyday actions have on the very environment they live in prompts them to rethink their behaviour at the workspace, and therefore to reduce the waste of hotel’s resources in general. More psychological factors, such as social approval phenomenon, are used in this game.

Furthermore, incorporating environmental questions into employee trainings can be used towards building a reputation of socially conscious and responsible brand and avoid bad reviews from eco-conscious customers.
