Dropbox Gratitude Post

At Dropbox, we recently implemented a program called the Gratitude Post. Our design team created cards that each feature one of Dropbox’s core values—things that highlight our focus on detail, or working together as a team. Employees can write a message to a co-worker who has done a great job of living one of our values, and the Gratitude Post team will hand-deliver it. Not only is this a great way for employees to show each other gratitude, but by seeing which of the values cards are being used the most, we get interesting data. Coupled with other key insights, including engagement surveys, we can get a better understanding of how our values drive employee happiness.
