Made possible through a Mitacs internship, Betsy's research became the basis for a new program that ODScore will begin to offer its clients and consulting services. Understanding how employee communication can contribute to satisfaction and engagement, Betsy was able to draw a connection between narrative and employee motivation by using principles that traditionally make video games so captivating.
