Jun21074 Helping Organisations Thrive PentaQuest helps teams and organisations thrive using cutting-edge behavioural science and gamification. Whether the client’s transformation is focused on employee engagement, learning and development, performance management, or aligning strategy with culture, PentaQuest supports them to make the change stick, be meaningful, and fun! Corporate Vision has recognised the company as Most Outstanding Gamification Specialist 2021 – Australia, so we take a closer look at the company and what it has to offer. PentaQuest is founded on the principle that work should be fun and that people should bring their whole selves to work. That’s why it specialises in gamification, using fun mechanics like rewards, a sense of progress, team goals, peer-to-peer recognition and more to bring a spirit of fun into team dynamics. Employee engagement is key to a thriving organisation and healthy and happy people. Global workforce studies show that less than one third of employees are meaningfully engaged and that organisations with high employee engagement outperform those with low engagement by 202%. By bringing a sense of positivity to individual and team performance, PentaQuest aims to bring moments of delight and a sense of achievement to individuals, teams, whole organisations, and thereby the world! Clients include small to medium enterprises, Government departments, and quick service restaurants. Its target market includes executive leaders and human resource directors seeking to increase the performance of their staff and organisation through improved engagement, higher levels of performance, a strategic focus, contribution to culture, and a growing of capabilities. PentaQuest provides a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for teams and organisations which uses behavioural science and gamification to increase engagement, boost performance, and build culture. In addition, it offers add-on client success services to clarify how business strategy can be translated into daily staff and team behaviours, implement its SaaS platform including training, and provide monitoring and evaluation. The SaaS software is highly customisable, allowing the customer to leverage power of behavioural mechanics to improve performance quickly, easily, and at low cost. The platform is designed to evolve with the customer and their organisation, enabling them to be proactive and adaptive in driving change and culture. PentaQuest provides a holistic approach to high performance through targeting strategy, culture and capability through an elegant and gamified digital platform. Its advantage over currently available solutions lies in its unique mix of skills and integrated methodologies. Customers think of PentaQuest as organisational culture and performance change agents, and its expert team specialises in providing tools for behavioural sciences, design thinking, and psychology applied through a gamification lens. Critical to PentaQuest’s success is its people – this should come as no surprise, given that people are the only really source of competitive advantage for all companies. The PentaQuest team is a mix of behavioural and gamification experts, client success managers, software engineers, and operational staff. It is a fully remote organisation, so its staff come from all over the world. The team consists of leading behavioural gamification experts, both in Australia and internationally. Its gamification designers bring cutting-edge academic rigour as well as many years of practical experience in designing and delivering gamified experiences. Its product design and development team is experienced and talented, having previously worked for companies like Bosch and Target. The executive and board has many decades of experience in leading teams and building multinational companies. PentaQuest consists of multidisciplinary and diverse people who all believe that work and high performance should be fun. It is a team that embraces fun and playfulness in the workplace, believing that it’s important to bring your whole self to work. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, embracing failure (calling it #flearning), striving to innovate and shake up the way companies think about their staff – in short, PentaQuest believes in high performance through fun. Ultimately, PentaQuest’s mission is to bring fun and high performance to workplaces, to help teams thrive. Contact: Kerstin Oberprieler Email: [email protected] Website: www.pentaquest.io
