Celebrating Success

It’s been well accepted by now that we’re all humans and if you want to incentivize developers to do well in terms of security then you should recognize them! So, today on The Secure Developer, we will be having another one of our mix episodes, where we compile a sequence of snippets from conversations out of different episodes of the show and our theme for this episode is celebrating success! We feature segments from our interviews with Kyle Randolph, Zach Powers, Siren Hofvander, Mike Hanley, Leif Dreizler, and Eric Ellett, who talk about how success is celebrated at Optimizely, One Medical, Cybercom, Cisco, and Segment. A common theme from our show today is the idea that a little bit of swag goes a long way! Cash rewards tend to incentivize developers to only perform for the money, whereas surprise gifts like shirts, mugs, and hoodies keep things interesting and retain more association with the success they award than money in the bank. Some other interesting methods for celebrating success are public acknowledgments, ‘Cake for No Reason Day’, awards in the form of training and certifications, gamification, and a whole lot more! Tune in and hear how the few firms that do celebrate success are upholding this much-needed tradition. Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn
