• Storable– Keeping securely in online vaults, galleries

• Shareable– (L)earner curating selected collections– Matching to skills requirements

• Linkable– Connecting to evidence, outcomes

• Stackable– Laddering, clustering, “leveling up”

• “Plannable”– Goal setting, “missions”, “quests”

• Fun! – but not just for kids

A dark side to badges for work?What if you badge them and they leave?

• Perceived threats:– Potential for poaching by recruiters– “Ticket to ride” for HiPo’s (High Potentials)

• The other side of the coin:– What if you don’t and they stay (and fester)?– Isn’t this a great way to recruit new talent, especially for SMEs?

• Sector organizations can build community talent pipelines for SMEs

– Can you get HiPo’s to stay with more challenges and recognition?

• (See stats comparing results of different employee engagement strategies)

– And if they’re producing lots more…maybe pay them a bit more?

• One possible strategy: “skills escrow”?– Make internally awarded employer-awarded badges private,

until the employee leaves (e.g. inside Moodle or other LMS)Open for online discussion and comment at the E-Learning Provocateur: http://ryan2point0.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/top-5-benefits-of-open-badges-for-corporates/
