Employees don't complete training in SAP SuccessFactors — how to change this
Employees ignore mandatory courses in the corporate portal for years — and it's not about laziness. They're simply not interested in reading long instructions and watching repetitive presentations while real work tasks keep piling up around them.
As a result, training in SAP SuccessFactors becomes a formality: the "completed" checkbox is ticked, but the staff never actually gains the required skills.
For the business, this means repeated mistakes, slow onboarding of new people, and a wasted budget on developing materials that nobody finishes reading. Managers spend time sending reminders, but nothing changes.
A quiz for your staff solves this problem — it turns training from an obligation into a game that employees complete on their own, without supervision or coercion.
We develop training quizzes right inside SAP SuccessFactors: employees answer short questions based on your regulations and instructions, see their mistakes immediately, and get explanations.
This format takes 5-7 minutes instead of an hour, and material retention increases several times over — because knowledge is reinforced through active engagement rather than passive reading.
What you get from game-based training in SAP SuccessFactors
Regular courses in the LMS turn into a box-ticking exercise: employees flip through slides, and knowledge doesn't stick.
Game-based training on the SAP SuccessFactors platform changes the mechanics — quizzes engage, competition motivates, and results appear in the analytics immediately after the game.
Instead of boring testing, employees get short rounds with questions, feedback, and competitive elements. This is gamification for your staff in its purest form: it boosts interest in the material and speeds up memorization.
Thanks to the browser-based format built on Unity WebGL, the game runs without installation — employees can complete training from any device: laptop, tablet, or phone.
For businesses, the key benefit is measurability. The system records who completed the quiz, how many correct answers they gave, how much time they spent, and which topics cause difficulties.
This data flows into SAP SuccessFactors reporting, so HR and managers see the real level of preparation instead of formal checkmarks. Automated grading and score aggregation remove the routine work — there's no need to manually collect and analyze mistakes. The freed-up time can be redirected toward employee development.
Employees complete training at their own pace, and results are reflected in their profiles right away. This makes it easy to spot gaps and adjust programs quickly.
The game format is especially effective for onboarding, certification, and regular refresher training on regulations.
In the end, you get a tool that increases engagement, provides objective progress data, and reduces the HR workload — all without data duplication or unnecessary integrations.
Quiz formats for different business tasks
Corporate training breaks down on the same problem over and over: employees click through the course "for the record" and forget the material a week later. A quiz turns knowledge assessment into a live process — but only if the format matches the task. Some need strict control, some need to engage new hires, some need to practice complex scenarios.
We match the format to your goal and embed the quiz right into the familiar browser window — inside your LMS, including portals built on SAP SuccessFactors. Below are the typical scenarios this approach covers.
| Quiz format | Who it's for | What it delivers |
|---|---|---|
| Express test on standards and regulations | Sales teams, support, production | Quick knowledge check without taking people away from work. You can see who has mastered the standards and who makes systematic errors. |
| Scenario simulation "customer dialogue" | Sales managers, service engineers | Practicing real situations without risk. Employees work through response branches and see the consequences of their decisions. |
| Quiz on company history and product | New employees, trainees | New hire adaptation becomes easier: gamification accelerates memorization, and HR can track progress by stage. |
| Competitive marathon with a leaderboard | All teams, motivational programs | Higher engagement and healthy competition. Management gets a clear knowledge rating across departments. |
In every case, the quiz is not a "game for fun" but a tool with measurable outcomes. The built-in report shows the percentage of correct answers, average completion time, and problematic topics. You can see what employees actually learned and understand which material needs to be reworked.
We'll advise which format will work best for your task — we'll prepare sample questions and a quiz structure based on your content.
How we develop the quiz: project stages
For a quiz to genuinely increase engagement and material retention, it has to be thought through from the very start. We've broken the work into clear stages — so you stay in control of the process and see the result at every step.
- Brief and task analysis — we identify which knowledge needs to be tested, who the audience is, and which format will be effective. Based on that, we define project goals and success criteria so you can evaluate the outcome.
- Scenario design — we develop the quiz structure, choose question types (multiple choice, matching, case studies), and write wording that employees understand and that actually tests the right competencies.
- Layout and mechanics approval — we show you an interactive prototype: how the screens look, how scoring and feedback work. You make edits before development starts — this saves time and budget.
- Game development — we build the quiz on the professional Unity platform so it runs reliably in any browser and on different devices, from laptops to tablets.
- Integration with your learning system — we connect the quiz to your portal (for example, SAP SuccessFactors) and set up result transfer and synchronization with employee data. No manual report gathering needed.
- Pilot launch and testing — we roll the quiz out to a small group of employees, collect feedback, and quickly fix any interface and content issues.
- Full launch and support — we deploy the quiz for all employees, monitor completion rates, and stay in touch: targeted fixes and updates are made within the agreed period.
What's included in the quiz development work
The final deliverable is not just a game but a working training tool that stays with you and can be reused many times. We assemble a complete package — from scenario to launch instructions — so you don't have to figure anything out or look for outside contractors.
Here's what's included:
- Quiz scenario. We design the logic and mechanics around your training objective: from simple to complex, with explanations for each answer. This is a methodological asset that stays yours forever.
- Question bank. We prepare questions based on your materials or your data — with answer options and mistake breakdowns. You get an editable file and can extend it without our help.
- Design and branding. We create a visual style aligned with your brand and corporate colors. This makes the quiz feel native inside your ecosystem rather than like a foreign app.
- Integration with your system. We connect the quiz to SAP SuccessFactors so results automatically land in employee profiles. No manual exports or lost data.
- Testing and refinement. We run the quiz through various scenarios and verify the accuracy of scoring and result display. You get a stable version that won't crash at the most critical moment.
- Administrator guide. A clear reference on how to launch the quiz for a group, how to view results, and what to do if an employee didn't complete it.
- Methodological recommendations. We advise on how to embed the quiz into your training program: before or after the course, at what intervals, and how to motivate employees to take it.
You get a closed loop: an employee completes the quiz — you see the result in the system — you make a training decision. You don't need to dig into the technical side; everything is already configured and verified.
If you need to focus on a specific area — for example, only questions or only integration — just let us know, and we'll put together a package tailored to your request.
Case study: how a quiz doubled course completion rates
When training needs to be effective but employees treat it as a formality, the business takes the hit. We ran into exactly this in a project for the Atlant Group of Companies — a major distributor with branches in six cities.
Internal courses on the product and service standards were completed by at most 40% of employees, and the average score didn't even reach the minimum.
How it went
Instead of another lecture followed by a test, we built a browser-based quiz that works like a TV game show: short rounds, fast-answer questions, instant feedback, and a team leaderboard.
Employees completed it at their own pace, with no tie to a specific workstation and no need to install anything.
The quiz was embedded into the existing HR system, so every participant's results were tracked. We added three difficulty levels so both newcomers and experienced salespeople got a challenge rather than boredom.
Results in numbers
The key metric was the share of employees who reached the final screen of the test. It grew from 40% to 83%. Full course completion doubled, and average training time dropped by a fifth: employees stopped re-reading materials multiple times.
We also measured engagement separately: 60% of participants returned to the quiz to improve their score or beat their colleagues. A month after launch, we received a repeat order for the next training block — this time on deep product knowledge.
These numbers aren't marketing — they're facts from the client's report. We always ask for access to statistics after launch and are ready to demonstrate similar results on your data.
How to choose a quiz format for your task?
There is no universal quiz format — and that's normal. The choice depends on the problem you're solving: introducing a new hire to the product, testing employees before certification, or keeping their knowledge sharp on an ongoing basis.
That's why we start with a brief and help break your goal down into specific criteria before proposing a scenario.
For new hires, a learning quiz with hints and instant explanations after each answer works best. This format reduces the fear of making mistakes, engages people in the process, and lets them absorb material as they go.
Employees aren't just testing themselves — they're gaining knowledge in a game format, which beats passive reading of instructions.
If the task is certification, the format needs to be stricter: time limits, randomized question selection, and locked-in results. Here, both presentation and data reliability matter.
We set up integration with SAP SuccessFactors so quiz results automatically flow into the learning system and you get an objective picture for each employee — no manual spreadsheet wrangling.
For regular knowledge refreshers, short quizzes work well — 5-7 questions once a week. They keep knowledge up to date without eating up employees' time.
And if you want to combine fun with learning, you can mix formats: for example, a quick warm-up at each stage and a serious test at the end of the course.
The key point is that choosing a format isn't a technical decision — it's a business decision. We help you navigate based on your audience and goals, and at the brief stage we propose the scenario that will deliver a measurable result.
In the end, you get a quiz that solves your specific problem, not just a pretty game with questions.
Frequently asked questions about corporate quiz development
Before launching a quiz, clients always have the same concerns: how hard is it to integrate with the existing system, will it affect employee data, and what happens when the content needs updating. We answer the main questions — no technical details, just what matters for the business.
Is it difficult to integrate the quiz with SuccessFactors?
No, it doesn't take weeks and doesn't require major modifications. We build the quiz as a standalone browser module that connects to your portal or learning system using standard corporate rules.
Setup usually takes a few days — and employees can immediately take the test through their usual entry point.
Will the quiz work on our devices and systems?
The quiz runs in any modern browser — on computers, tablets, and smartphones. You don't need to install anything extra. Before launch, we test compatibility with the devices and browsers used in your company so there are no surprises.
How is employee data security ensured?
Employee data stays inside your corporate perimeter. The quiz uses the same authorization rules as your internal systems, and result transfer is protected. We don't share information with third parties and are ready to accommodate your internal data storage requirements.
What happens when I need to update questions or add new ones?
Updating the quiz is a routine task, not a new project. You can quickly change questions, add blocks for new topics, or adapt content for different employee groups.
If needed, we'll handle support for you: after launch, you keep a direct line to our team, which assists with any changes.
If you still have questions about a specific scenario — let's discuss them on a short call, and we'll show you how the quiz will fit into your training processes.Order a quiz developed for your learning system
