Workplace Violence and Harassment – Game-Based Scenario

One of our recent projects involved developed a game-based, scenario-driven Custom eLearning Solution focused on Workplace Violence and Harassment Training.

As part of our broader corporate training solutions and digital learning services, the goal was to move beyond traditional click-through compliance courses and create a learning experience where employees actively practice real-world decision-making.

What we built:

• A scenario-driven course with 1–4 progressive levels
• Each level presents realistic workplace situations that require learner judgment
• Learners complete a knowledge check or quiz at the end of each level
• Successful completion unlocks a badge, reinforcing motivation and progression

Why this project matters:

Rather than relying on a traditional, click-through compliance approach, we designed this eLearning course to help learners practice real-world decision-making in a safe environment, supporting better recognition, prevention and response to workplace violence and harassment.

Behind the scenes:

• Branching scenarios were designed to encourage reflection, not just right-or-wrong answers
• Feedback carefully crafted to explain why a response is appropriate
• Game mechanics were applied thoughtfully to maintain the seriousness of the topic

What this project reinforced for us:

When designed with intent, gamification can enhance engagement and retention, even for sensitive compliance topics.

Tools used:

• Articulate Storyline 360 for course development
• Vyond for video creation

Learning outcome:

Participants will be able to identify, prevent and appropriately respond to workplace violence and harassment situations through practical, scenario-based decision-making.
