Unleashing holiday spirit at Datadog

During the holiday season, Datadog Cares, the social impact group at Datadog, organized a company-wide food drive to support local communities, addressing challenges such as accommodating diverse nationalities and enabling participation from remote employees. The initiative, which was first launched last year, involved a friendly competition among teams from different offices in New York, Boston, Paris, and remote locations, with team captains facilitating donation logistics. To track progress, Datadog used its dashboards to display participation metrics, encouraging employees to contribute even minimally, which often led to larger donations. The drive achieved a 91 percent participation rate, highlighting employee engagement with Datadog Cares initiatives. Building on this success, the company plans to expand the effort this year, forming new teams and incorporating smaller offices, while maintaining the spirit of friendly competition and community support.
