Published: Sept. 18, 2013, 10:30 p.m.

#TChat Radio is all new and live Wednesday, September 18, 2013, at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT), with the #TChat Twitter chat right after from 7-8 pm ET. \xa0 Last week we talked about workplace violence and preparedness, and this week we're talking about a lighter yet quite valuable subject for the enterprise. \xa0 Everybody loves a good game. The challenge, the entertainment, the skilling up, the rewards.\xa0 \xa0 Gamification is something we\u2019ve been hearing a lot about in the world of work. But the fact remains it\u2019s a powerful movement that helps companies recruit, learn, engage and retain more accurately. \xa0 Tapping into the competitive nature in us all, while measuring the results from these "games," provides accurate insight into who we all are and why, the reality of truly not being able to "game the system." \xa0 Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we welcome our special guests: Guy Halfteck, an Israeli entrepreneur, is the CEO of Knack, a technology startup he founded in 2010, and Mark Howorth, Chief Operating Officer at Panavision, and previously Partner and Senior Director of Global Recruiting at Bain & Company. \xa0\xa0\xa0 \xa0 This will be another important show about gaming ourselves for the better.
