How to Retain Employees with Live Trivia
If you’re looking for ways to retain employees, I want to tell you something that might sound wild at first—but hear me out.
Trivia. Yes, live trivia.
Before I dive in, let me introduce myself real quick. My name is Mark Corona. I’m a national trivia host, a former radio personality, and the Chief Border Agent of the world’s newest nation—Slowjamastan. (Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s satirical. And yes, it’s been featured on CNN, FOX, and even NATO.) One of my missions? Retention. Not deportation.
And I’ve learned that if you want to retain employees in today’s world, it’s not about foosball tables, pizza parties, or handing out another mug with your company’s logo on it. It’s about connection, engagement, and belonging—and trivia is my secret weapon.
Why Live Trivia Works
In my 30+ years of engaging live audiences—whether on-air, on stage, or now on corporate trivia platforms—I’ve seen firsthand what makes people light up. It’s not a slide deck or a spreadsheet. It’s interaction.
Live trivia does something magical in a corporate setting. It breaks down silos. It lets your finance department laugh with marketing and gives that shy team member a chance to shine. It’s fun, yes—but it’s also strategic.
Trivia builds camaraderie.
Trivia encourages collaboration.
It improves mental well-being.
And most importantly for your bottom line—trivia helps you retain employees.
When employees feel seen, valued, and connected—they stay.
A Nation That Uses Trivia to Retain Its Citizens
In Slowjamastan, our quirky laws (like banning Crocs and mandating proper string cheese etiquette) make headlines. But what keeps people coming back is how we make them feel part of something. One of our most powerful tools? Live trivia events.
Citizens show up, week after week, because we’ve built a culture of fun, participation, and recognition. I took the same methods I use in Slowjamastan and brought them into corporate America. The results? Teams that actually look forward to meetings. Retention rates that rise. And yes, employees that stay longer—and care more.
Real Impact in Real Companies
I’ve hosted trivia shows for companies like Marriott, MPI, and Mattel. Whether it’s an in-person game show with music, lights, and buzzers—or a custom virtual trivia event tailored to your team—every show is built to connect your employees in a way that’s unforgettable.
You’ll hear the laughter. You’ll see the smiles. But what you might not see right away is the long-term ROI. Happier employees don’t leave. Happier employees produce more. And happier employees tell their friends that your company is an amazing place to work.
