Companies have been remaking the work experience over the past couple of years. This has included adjusting the way they hire, reshaping communication standards to operate well in an at least partially remote atmosphere, and developing a stronger culture overall.

It spurs innovation, increases employee engagement, explores new feature possibilities, imparts corporate culture, and builds teamwork and collaboration skills. By organizing internal hackathons in your company, your employees can challenge and compete to solve internal or customer problems—which can lead to real-life features in your product.
