The social media community is now beginning to use their influence to increase awareness of causes world wide. The Silicon Valley TweetUp that took place on January 20th, at the beautiful Valencia Hotel in the heart of Silicon Valley, surpassed expectations of TweetUp Hosts Michael Brito, VP of Social Media at Edelman Digital & Jennifer Leggio, ZDNet Social Business Blogger.

The Team’s goal was to raise $1000.00 for Epic Change’s Twitterkids of Tanzania, due to the unexpected turnout and enthusiasm for Shel Israel’s book signing, the team was able to hand a $2300.00 check to Sanjay Patel Co-Founder of Epic change who flew in from Florida for the event.

Silicon Valley Tweetup events are attended by a mix of some of the Bay Areas most talented and well-connected networkers. From top influencers, to social media and marketing professionals, to engineers and venture capital reps, to CEOs and entrepreneurs. Attendees were excited to engage and discuss LeapFish and it’s integration of top social media content providers while contributing to a great cause.

Our team at LeapFish would like to extend a big thank you & congratulations to Michael Brito, Jennifer Leggio and Epic Change for putting together another succesful event. Great Work!

The room was filled with bright lights, a phenomenal catered meal and employees dressed in their finest. Attendees enjoyed an evening that belonged to those being recognized for performing above and beyond the norm, going beyond their daily expectations and striving for perfection each day.

The competition was fierce but a decision had to be made.  The Team was proud to recognize several finalists and award winners this year for the next Rising Star, Most Improved, Spirit Embodiment, Manager of the Year and various departmental & company Persons of the Year. Those recognized truly embody the hard working, relentless, loyal and positive spirit of LeapFish & DotNext.

The Team would like to congratulate those recognized for their performance in 2009, an amazing year of growth, success and innovation for LeapFish & DotNext. Every employee including those recognized this past weekend should be proud of their individual contribution and we look forward to seeing you blossom in 2010.

Congratulations!

Everyone participated and gifts soon filled the break room.  The gifts varied from the hottest Snuggie on the market decked out in cheetah print to the highly sought after children’s toy the Zhu Zhu Motorized Hamster.

Yes Christmas is the season of giving however LeapFish truly captured the sneaky gift stealing spirit of the White Elephant gift exchange.  LeapFish employees are fierce competitors and in the spirit of the White Elephant Gift Exchange the most sought after gifts were stolen not once but twice leaving some without their dream gift  but in the end everyone had a great time, laughter filled the office and everyone  left with great gifts!

A big thank you to all LeapFish employees who participated in this years festivities! Without our people LeapFish is nothing. Every LeapFish employee plays an important role and we are thankful to be part of a loyal team of people  and it is through them that we’ve been able to perform month after month & continue to celebrate our success.

Our Team at LeapFish wishes everyone a  Happy New Year!

What started out as 10 sponsored kids, quickly turned to 39 and counting for a Salvation Army toy and supply drive driven by some kind hearted LeapFish employees.  Employees received ornaments symbolizing their sponsored child along with details on their sponsored child’s needs. Each employee purchased what their child needed and placed it under the company’s beautiful Holiday Giving Tree with delivery from Santa to the wonderful kids set for Christmas Eve!

Shepherds Gate, a Women and Children’s abuse shelter also received some holiday love from some kind hearted LeapFish employees this year as employees purchased boxes of kitchen supplies, educational toys, sports equipment and books for both the women and children. In addition, LeapFish is providing a Holiday meal to for the shelter and its residents this holiday season.

LeapFish is proud to contribute and help improve the lives of Greater Bay Area families. We hope to put a smile on each child’s face, and assist families in feeling the love that is shared during this special Holiday Season.

Happy holidays from all at LeapFish.

At LeapFish we strive to employ a two pronged approach to increasing team happiness and wellbeing during recession times like these:

First Method :

First, we immediately roll out substantial, structured and predictable performance based compensation in the form of bonuses and spiffs. Nearly anyone, including managers and directors, can earn additional compensation if they are able to perform above general standards on a challenge by challenge basis. As a result, regardless of economic slow downs, team members are still able to maintain control over their financial destiny.

Second Method:

Second, we aggressively enhance the quality, frequency and quantity of spirited culture activities that play directly into happiness and wellbeing. For example, our team holds competitive monthly ping pong tournaments, gathers weekly at pubs and cafes, has weekly trivia contests and just recently joined a corporate softball league. Simply put, there is a direct correlation between increased positive cultural events and team happiness and production.

Each of these efforts enhances our level of happiness, strengthens our bonds and positions us for great production and growth even in recession times.
