Innovating beyond our day‐to‐day.
Our culture of exploration inspires creative thinking, effective problem solving and one-of-a-kind programmes that make things work better throughout our business and within our communities.
Transforming the employee experience.
In 2012, we replaced underperforming annual performance reviews with ongoing Check-in conversations between employees and their managers. The result? Voluntary attrition dropped and morale soared as employees felt more nurtured and managers felt more empowered. And now, we've open-sourced our tools and resources so other companies can start Check-in programmes of their own.
Empowering creative individuals.
At Adobe, we think creative visual content is essential to human culture. So in 2015, we established the Adobe Creative Residency — a programme that gives two talented artists the opportunity to focus on a personal creative project for one year and to share their work and discoveries with the creative community.
Unleashing innovation.
A six-step innovation process that comes packaged in a bright red box, Adobe Kickbox helps individual employees develop ideas for new products and services. When word got around, Adobe open-sourced Kickbox for any company to use.

A passion for invention.
As Adobe’s cofounders often say, “Good ideas come from everywhere in the company.”
