At Staffbase, we believe great ideas can come from anywhere. Sometimes that means breaking out of daily routines to let creativity flow. While our product teams work tirelessly on our AI-native employee experience platform, we have a tradition that encourages our engineers to do exactly that. Hackathons. A dedicated time to step back and innovate.

Hackathons and what they mean to us

To us, a hackathon is about empowering our teams. Participants can step out of their daily schedules, form new teams, and work on projects they are passionate about during a short, time-limited period. The goal? To create something innovative and unique. This creative freedom has led to incredible new features and workflows that have become permanent parts of our product.

Our hackathons always end with exciting demos where the teams can celebrate their hard work and showcase the results. However, it’s not just about creating innovative results. It’s also about giving back. The top projects are awarded a prize, which will be donated to a good cause of the winning team’s choice.

AI: The next frontier of innovation

At Staffbase, our commitment to innovation is at the core of our culture. We consistently encourage our teams to explore new and emerging technologies, and AI is no exception. Our hackathons are a perfect example of this. These events are a catalyst for innovative ideas and a proving ground for new concepts. They break down silos, strengthen team bonds, and give our teams the chance to take ownership of topics close to their heart and want to drive forward.

We believe that getting hands-on with AI is the best way to understand its potential to solve real-world challenges. Our internal events are a chance for our teams to explore new ideas and experiment with AI to enhance our products, improve internal workflows, and discover innovative new features.

This commitment to innovation doesn’t stop with our internal teams. We know the next generation of AI talent is out there, eager to create solutions for the problems of tomorrow.
