The tech industry as we know it is fast-paced and is always looking for the next big thing. Tech companies have come up with a lot of tricks to boost their employee’s creativity, which leads to successful products and happier employees.
From having the eccentric Lady Gaga talk to Google employees to giving Sagmeister & Walsh staff year-long sabbaticals; it is these ideas that have often led to a company’s most successful products.
Some other weird ideas include Google’s ‘20 per cent time’ which gives engineers time away to pursue personal creative projects, Microsoft’s ‘The Garage’ space which is Bill Gates old office transformed into a creative inspiration space for employees, to IBM’s jams which are large brainstorming events and Eventbrite’s idea to use dim lights to recharge employees.
