PanDa likes to share the good news, so your message will land in the #general channel
3. Every word of recognition gets rewarded
The recipients of your gratitude will get points for each kudos that you send, but the greatest gift is your thankfulness and recognition among other team members

Why we created PanDa?
At DeSmart, we wanted to build a recognition-rich culture. What is it exactly?
Well, in a nutshell, it’s a work culture where you can be appreciated and recognized for being helpful to the organization and, at the same time, get gratified. Let’s be honest, people want to be recognized and appreciated for what they do. To grow a culture like that at DeSmart, we needed a tool that would help us.
A few devs came up with a solution — our own internal micro-bonuses platform integrated with Slack, a communication tool that we use daily. It worked so well for us that we decided to share it with the world. We called it PanDa.
*** On a side note, PanDa is a wordplay in Polish. It can be translated as “gimme”. ***
