Many of us have heard of this idea of the quantified self, the idea that we can measure pretty much anything we want about ourselves. Fitness trackers, wearable devices and the internet of things are allowing us to explore whatwe want to know about how we live. All of this data is then neatly viewed in dashboards that show us areas we can improve on. Fitness is the most obvious example with food and activity tracking. However, what if we took some of these concepts and applied them to the workplace to get a better understanding of how we work?

My guest this week on The Future of Work Podcast is Kris Duggan, and his company BetterWorks, does just that. As the former CEO of gamification company Badgeville, Dugganhas a unique understanding into what engages employees and what gets them to share.

Some people will say that the idea of the quantified workplace oversteps the personal boundaries that employees have, while others will argue that it poses a unique opportunity to improve organizational effectiveness and employee engagement. We are still in the early stages of both the quantified self and the quantified workplace, but Duggangives listeners plenty to think about around the future of work.
