Gratitude in the Workplace Hackathon

OpenIDEO TO PRESENTS

"How might we inspire experiences and expressions of gratitude in the workplace?"
~90% of people say that expressing gratitude to colleagues makes them feel happier. Yet on any given day, only 10% say “thank you” to colleagues. That won't do!

We are throwing a gratitude party... to redesign appreciation in the workplace, learning design-thinking principles by doing as we go along! This session is made possible by our venue partners at the General Assembly/Bitmaker*.
