Sam Caucci, Founder & CEO of 1HUDDLE, a technology-based employee training platform that helps companies more effectively onboard and upskill employees using games joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Sam Caucci discuss the following:
- Could you tell our audience about 1Huddle, what do you do, how do you help businesses and other clients you work with?
- We hear the buzzword gamification more and more today. What does it mean and how is it applicable to different industries. Looking at your list of clients online, you have folks from various industries.
- How is gamification applicable to the government and the military. Seems liked our armed forces have been using games and simulations for a while.
- I noticed doing some research on 1HUDDLE that you work with the city of Newark. Can you discuss what your company does with the city and how you help them?
- You read everywhere how it’s harder and harder for millennials to find jobs or get their foot in the door to get jobs. I have read how you have said in the past that colleges don’t do a good job getting students ready for the workforce. Can you talk a bit about that and I believe you also wrote a book on this topic. Maybe you can give our audience so key takeaways from the book you wrote a few years ago.
- Another buzz word we hear a lot is workforce training. Seems like more and more companies are at least talking about it for their employees especially since many folks have been in the workforce for while and as technology ramps up training their employees is key for business success moving forward. Can you talk about that. It’s one thing for a millennial to play games but probably is tougher for a baby boomer etc.
- You are a successful entrepreneur and small business owner. What do you think of today’s small business climate for entrepreneurs. Is Main Street doing well or at least better or is Wall Street getting most of the benefits of our country’s solid economic numbers.
- What advice do you have for businesses and companies when it comes to workforce training. What makes what you do and gamification different from what’s been tried before.
- You discussed Newark, can you give us another client that you have worked with over the years that has been a great success story that you and 1Huddle are proud of and the difference it has made for your client.
