Many organizations invest little into their employee experience.
It’s common for new employees to wonder if they’ve made the right choice of joining as soon as their first day.
Many organizations fall into the trap of the “kindergarten office” approach to culture.
An approach with mandated forced fun and thinking that a ping-pong table is culture.
What Happens As A Result?
- Reduced employee engagement.
- Lower morale.
- Higher employee turnover.
- Reduced productivity.
- Reduced revenue.
- Higher levels of burnout.
WHAT IF there was an approach that focused on the fundamentals? An approach focused on building a strong foundation for the employee experience?
WHAT IF there was an approach that was like discovering customer needs and pain points, but applying it for employees? An approach that uses storytelling techniques that we’re all familiar with?
WHAT IF there was an approach for organizations to create more playful workplaces? One that looks beyond the ping-pong table and forced fun committees?

We Help Organizations Cut Through The Bull And Focus On What Matters In The Employee Experience.
We Provide The Following Services To Organizations:
We help organizations work on their employee onboarding experience. Strong onboarding helps new employees feel they’ve made the right choice in joining your organization.
We help organizations create better stories of the employee experience through journey mapping. Storytelling is one of our oldest and most powerful tools. A journey map allows you to plan and build a journey employees take in your organization.
We help organizations with their employee experience through the use of design thinking. Organizations love to use design thinking for discovering customer needs and pain points. We will show you how to use it for your employee experience.
We help organizations create more playful cultures. Table tennis and Playstations do not create a playful culture. That’s only scratching the surface. We’ll show you how to go deeper.

Testimonials:
From the beginning of the session, Paul made everyone feel very comfortable about what was about to take place. Each activity was something I felt I could accomplish. Never once did I feel uncomfortable during an activity or that I was unable to be vulnerable with my partner(s). It felt empowering to open up in front of a group of strangers and feel heard. I now know that no matter who you are, where you work, or what you do; engagement through “play” can and should take place on a more frequent basis.

Paul grabbed the audience's attention from the very start. He lead them through a very engaging and highly interactive workshop. Everyone who attended took something away from the evening's event (including myself). With Playficient, Paul is addressing a need to further blend our social and work lives, and he's doing it in a fantastically creative way.

The onboarding experience workshop by Playficient was the first workshop I attended and I found it to be very engaging and highly interactive. It was insightful and inspired me to think about ways to revamp the current onboarding process at my firm. I would recommend attending a workshop put on by Playficient.

Paul Lopushinsky’s session at the Utah ATD chapter event on the Eight Play Personalities was an eye-opening experience that challenged the traditional approach to workplace culture. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all perks, he demonstrated how understanding different play personalities can foster a more inclusive and engaging environment for all employees. His insights helped us recognize why many organizations unknowingly cater to only a fraction of their workforce’s play styles. This session provided practical strategies to create a workplace culture that feels genuinely fun and meaningful for everyone!

Paul delivered an outstanding presentation on employee journey mapping to our HR Chapter in Northwest Connecticut. His ability to engage the audience and thoughtfully address questions throughout the seminar made for an insightful and interactive experience. He shared valuable insights from his own experiences, emphasizing the significance of employee journey mapping for organizations. Paul introduced five key questions to ask employees, each building upon the previous one, fostering deeper understanding. Our group especially enjoyed the "magic wand" question and how it complemented the mirroring and reflecting process. His expertise, clarity, and engaging style made for an excellent session.

Paul Lopushinsky’s session on The Eight Play Personalities for the Proposal Industry Experts community was an inspiring push to think about how often we overlook something as fundamental as play in our work. Metrics, process, and structure often dominate the conversations in our industry, but Paul brought a deeply human energy to this presentation. His dive into the Eight Play Personalities gave us a new lens to think about engagement, not as another framework to implement, but as something more personal and dynamic. What stood out most was how many people walked away inspired! Conversations have already started about how to weave these ideas into proposals, team culture, and our community.

From the beginning Paul made me feel comfortable. Each activity was something I felt I could accomplish. And contrary to putting me in a spotlight with no instructions, I had clear instructions and always at least one willing partner that ensured I didn’t fail. It was later that I learned that is a key element of improv – that you never let someone fail.That has really resonated with me as a leader. If I can remember that a team should be built and supported so everyone embodies this belief, it lays a different foundation.
