Gamification / token economies have been studied in scenarios such as this.

Things to seriously consider: Do you want them to be motivated by personal gain or be motivated by passion? Which employees are currently motivated by personal gain and which are currently motivated by passion? Which projects might require extra consideration to be considered motivating and which projects might be worked on for free?

Thanks for sharing these insights. Gamification is an interesting suggestion I had not even thought about. In our situation we are having a hard time since money and integrity are not motivators so far.

You’re welcome.

Sounds like fun might be the go-to motivator then. Try finding ways to provide fun at the end of every task or sprint.

A random sprint bonus check every now and again wouldn’t hurt, I’m sure.
