Theory and Practice in Perfect Combination Why Employee engagement matters In 2012, Gallup conducted a research. Researchers studied 49,928 work units, including nearly 1.4 million employees. This analysis further confirmed the well-established connection between employee engagement and nine performance outcomes: • Customer ratings • Profitability • Productivity • Turnover • Safety incidents • Shrinkage (theft) • Absenteeism • Patient safety incidents • Quality (defects) Why Employee engagement matters Work units in the top quartile in employee engagement outperformed bottom-quartile units by 10% on customer ratings, 22% in profitability, and 21% in productivity. Work units in the top quartile also saw significantly lower turnover (25% in high-turnover organizations, 65% in low-turnover organizations), shrinkage (28%), and absenteeism (37%) and fewer safety incidents (48%), patient safety incidents (41%), and quality defects (41%). • Companies with an average of 9.3 engaged employees for every actively disengaged employee in 2010-2011 experienced 147% higher EPS compared with their competition in 2011-2012. • Companies with an average of 2.6 engaged employees for every actively disengaged employee, in contrast, experienced 2% lower EPS compared with their competition during that same time period. How leaders engage their employees? • • • • • • • Leaders show that they value employees. Leaders provide challenging and meaningful work with opportunities for career advancement. Leaders clarify their expectations about employees and provide feedback on their functioning in the organization. Exceptional leaders give recognition, and they do so a lot; they coach and convey. People want to know that their input matters and that they are contributing to the organization’s success in a meaningful way. When employees work in teams and, it build the trust and cooperation of their team members.

Economy In Virtonomics – the economy is what matters and what makes the game special. Every participant of the market influences it one way or another. No one (not even us) knows what lies in the future. Only the behavior of it‘s numerous participants, their creative mind and their decisions affect this virtual economy. Decisions Business development, strategic planning, partnerships, supply/demand, politics, taxes, customs duties, logistics, financial markets, marketing, HR, auctions, pricing, branching, natural resources, warehousing, location, quality, productivity, staff – and that‘s just a fraction of your daily routine in Virtonomics Numbers During the 7 years that Virtonoics is available to public: • Over 1 million businesses have been created • Hundreds of thousands of holdings have been established • Tens of thousands of corporations have been structured Virtonomics economic model is a near perfect representation of the real economy.

GAME Business games The use of business games in order to reach the predetermined corporate goals has been trending for the past decade. Whether it’s for team building, improving employee knowledge, testing their skills, or just having a fun and useful exercise – undoubtedly, business games are the most involving and entertaining way to do it Assessment Employee training VIRTONOMICS Training Learning Trainings and seminars have various underlying goals – whether their meant to increase the qualification and knowledge of the existing employees, or to develop competencies of newly hired company members. Virtonomics provides great advantages in both of these cases. The facilitators of the educational curriculums, will be able to incorporate the flexible Virtonomics platform into their programs, consequently becoming highly aware of each participants unique learning curve, as well as their progression towards the primary goals of the workshop. Employee assesment Improvement Development Will the new hires take the right decisions at a critical moment? How about the “old-timers” – are they still capable of pulling off the cutting edge performance when it’s needed? In many industries, these types of questions are resolved by annual, monthly or even daily assessment which is then followed by knowledge reinforcement. Astronauts, pilots, doctors, soldiers and so on – perfect their skills, up until their performance becomes subconscious. Most of the companies in the business world, have been learning from their mistakes the hard way. For some reason, companies accept that employees are either a hit or a miss, a 50/50, a flip of the coin. But it doesn’t have to be that way – not any more. The business world is rapidly deploying the gamification procedures into their daily routines. Not only that it’s possible to hire perfect candidates without any risk, but it’s also possible to keep all of the employees on the constant peak of their performance. Виды симуляций в Virtonomics Virtonomics combines 4 environments: Business simulation • • • • Social simulation Economic Business Political Social All of the environments are interconnected. It‘s possible to choose a specific environment and build corresponding goals for the simulation Political simulation Economic simulation Virtonomics SIMULATIONS FOR EDUCATION Each environment, can have it‘s unique goals. For example, the economic simulation can be used to develop a strategy in response to the changing macroeconomic conditions. The structure of a typical training in Virtonomics Постановка целей Theory Group activity Decision making in Virtonomics PDCA - iterative four-step management method in Virtonomics All of the Virtonomics trainings are based on the PDCA (aka Deming) cycle. In one training day, all of the participants will repeat this cycle up-to 8 times (one cycles continues for 1 hour). With each cycle, participants will focus on different aspects of their business. The process of training Theory During the training, participants receive the necessary theoretical information, followed by a group discussion about the plan of actions Practice Participats are working together to reach the predetermined goals of the training. Many variations can take place – but mostly, it‘s either an individual or a group activity.

The premise: All players are competitors, having that in mind – their goal is to locate the best region for expansion. They know, that their competitors are going to expand their businesses as well. Every one of them, has to locate a “sweet spot” – a market, where there’s plenty of potential clients, prices and taxes involved for a new company are the lowest and ideally – none of the other competitors are going to deploy their business in that region. Players have to use all the available tools for market and competitor analysis, to avoid the worst case scenario – building their business in the exact same spot as their competitors.
