2. INTRODUCTION
At the Talent Ecosystem Conference 2016, we want to foster an
effective communication and engagement between all stakeholders
in the ecosystem, not just the HR people. TEC 2016 is a unique event
as the participant's experienced real-time engagement.
Rapid changing business environment has made our time becoming
more and more limited. Even though we practiced multitasking in
our busy life to cope with the rapid changes, we still couldn’t engage
to every single one of the challenges we face. Therefore we felt that
organizing an annual conference isn’t enough - we need to build
something bigger that meets the current and future business envi-
ronment.
Instead of a typical event engagement, we want to create an ecosys-
tem that can communicate, support and engage the community any-
where and anytime. The community will bring in their expertise to
support the ecosystem in trending topics such as data driven recruit-
ing, employee engagement & motivation, reinventing performance
review, implementing workplace gamification and much more.

3. Benefits of Talent Ecosystem
Provide support anytime and anywhere
As the name suggest, Talent Ecosystem will be an ecosystem
consisting of the HR practitioners, the industry experts as well
as the related stakeholders of the industry and this ecosys-
tem is designed to build up a community to support each
other. All the personnel in the virtual community can freely
communicate and support each other for any problems
they’re facing related to HR. You can now get direct support
from the industry experts without the hassle of going to any
HR events.
Produce localized research data and study
Because the virtual community is made of HR practitioners,
industry experts as well as related stakeholders, the data
gathered from the virtual community can be filtered out and
reproduced for future study of our own industry. Nowadays,
most of the research data and study produce are from the
western world and not related to our current industry. With
the introduction of Talent Ecosystem, we are now able to do
researches and studies about our own HR industry that are
highly relatable to us.
Networking between stakeholders of the
industry
Moreover, networking among the HR practitioners, industry
experts and related stakeholders will become easier as Talent
Ecosystem has provided a suitable platform for all of them to
do so. In this virtual community, you can reach out and
engage anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
Exclusive access to Talent Intelligence events
Other than that, Talent Ecosystem will also be the gateway for
exclusive access to events organized by Talent Intelligence
including Talent Ecosystem Conference, Asia Gamification
Conference, Data Ecosystem Conference and much more!

4. Talent Ecosystem Gamification
Experience
Talent Ecosystem
Together, we build sustainable talent ecosystem
Talent Ecosystem Conference 2016 was the first time work-
place gamification was previewed at a conference in Malay-
sia. By utilizing Talent Ecosystem mobile app as the plat-
form for workplace gamification, delegates of TEC was able
to experience the simulation of what workplace gamifica-
tion is about.
According to Gartner, gamification is the use of game
mechanics and experience design to digitally engage and
motivate people to achieve their goals. Gamification can be
categorized into 4 types which are product gamification,
marketing gamification, lifestyle gamification, and work-
place gamification.
We are particularly intrigued by workplace gamification
which uses game elements to drive employee performance.
Employee performance KPIs are measured in real time by
showing where employees are doing better, having them
compete with their goals and past achievements.
Workplace gamification is developed in a way that drives
intrinsic motivation, the sense of mastery and control that
comes when we know we are doing our job well. We believe
workplace gamification is the new standard in all workplace
and thus we wanted it to be adapt by all organizations.
Therefore, we work with SelfDrvn, a mobile app that com-
bines social gaming, fun activities and rewards into a single
package to engage employees and improve performance
with learning and development activities and do a simula-
tion of workplace gamification at the TEC 2016.
Besides showcasing workplace gamification in the Talent
Ecosystem mobile app, we are designing the app as a plat-
form for building an ecosystem for the HR community. Par-
ticipants of the app are able to communicate, interact, and
share ideas among themselves and also getting instant sup-
port and opinion from the industry experts anywhere and
anytime with the Talent Ecosystem mobile app.
5. Features of the TEC mobile app

type of games that the players can play. The first
game is Stepathon which counts the player's
steps and they will compete to accumulate the
most steps within the week. The second game is
the Message In the Bottle (MIB) which the players
participate by answering the open-ended ques-
tions asked anonymously. The players could also
like or dislike other players answers the ques-
tions asked.

The workplace gamification objective is to get the optimum
level of engagement from the whole organization and implic-
itly increase the productivity of the organization as a whole.
With workplace gamification, the employer can motivate the
employees better and thus reducing the voluntary turnover
of the organization.
REAL TIME Q&A SESSIONS
From time to time, industry experts will do virtual Q&A ses-
sions on selected topics and participants of the app can
freely participate in the Q&A sessions in real time. These Q&A
sessions than can be accessed at any time on the Spaces – a
feature that is used like forums in the app.
INDUSTRY EXPERTS FEEDBACK
The industry experts will receive real time or periodical
survey from the participants of their own forum. The industry
experts can also rate the feedback from the survey and
determine how constructive it was and they are also able to
comment on the feedback. Participant’s information will
remain anonymous.
INFLUENCE STAR & LEVEL
Participants and industry experts rate feedbacks in a ‘star
system’. If a feedback is deemed constructive, you will be
awarded a star but if the feedback is deemed not construc-
tive a star will be deducted instead. You are able to accumu-
late the stars to level up to become top influencers.

CONCLUSION
Talent Ecosystem is a perfect platform for any HR practitioners who
wish to connect and get support from the HR community anytime and
anywhere. Besides having an annual conference where we invite the
industry experts to speak on any particular topics, we will utilize the
Talent Ecosystem mobile app to let the community communicate, inter-
act and share ideas virtually in the form of a gamified mobile app. We
hope that this app would become a self-sustaining app that is run by
the professionals and experts from the HR industry over the years.
