How Give and Take Can Help
Give and Take helps leaders break through the bureaucratic clutter to inspire and engage teams, improve business performance, and build positive cultures. Givitas, our software platform, transforms workplaces into communities of collaborative generosity. With Givitas, we empower your workforce to ask for advice, recommendations, introductions, and help instead of wasting time and “toughing it out.”
Generosity at work may sound radical, but it’s a principle that will help your team achieve nothing less than greatness.
Boost Business Performance
Drive business results through generosity at work? It sounds almost too easy. However, research proves you can drive employee satisfaction, engagement, efficiency, productivity, and profitability by making it easy and quick for employees to ask for and offer help to one another.
Improve Culture
Culture can make or break a company. By making it easy for employees to ask for and offer help on key projects and initiatives, you create a culture of productive generosity where people care as much about each other’s success as they do about their own. When knowledge collaboration takes less than 5 minutes a day, your team builds high-quality connections and gets their work done.

Technology Based on Groundbreaking Research from Adam Grant
In 2013, organizational psychologist and Wharton professor Adam Grant took the business world by storm with his bestselling book Give and Take. The book shares a simple but profound premise: generous people are more successful at work than selfish ones.
Corporate America took notice. Leaders worldwide have flocked to the research that individuals and companies do better when organizations build and sustain a corporate culture of giving.
University of Michigan professor Wayne Baker has spent his career on research showing that a willingness and ability to ask for help is crucial to individual and team success.
These two powerhouses, along with renowned social science innovator Cheryl Baker, joined forces to create Givitas, a web-based technology platform that helps enterprises implement the principles from Grant and Baker’s research using a scalable, measurable, and manageable technology.
Adam Grant
"The hallmark of any great work culture is that people care as much about each other’s success as their own. Many organizations never reach that level of 'productive generosity,’ and it’s not because people aren’t willing to give. It’s because they’re afraid to ask for help. Givitas reduces the stigma of asking for help and enables people to give in five minutes a day."
Give and Take In The News
"In a world where poor knowledge-sharing costs Fortune 500 companies $31.5 billion annually, Givitas’ potential positive impact on employers is clear."
"Givitas can make asking for and getting help from other employees simple–which can make your business a lot more efficient and effective."
"[Givitas] wants you in and out in five minutes a day, so you can do your work more efficiently and effectively–and help others do the same."
