Cutting Edge Thinking and Tech on Display at 5th Annual Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting Global Code Games

Five years ago, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting designed an opportunity to expose employees to smart thinking and the latest technology, through a two-day coding event called the Code Games. Participation in this annual event has grown 2,000% since 2014 with over 700 employees competing in more than 20 cities around the world.

After forty-eight hours, teams present their innovation to a panel of judges that span from Wolters Kluwer executives, customers and industry thought-leaders. In addition to bragging rights, winning teams enter the champion-of-champion competition for an opportunity to move their idea through to the Tax & Accounting iLab for further research and development.

“Our employees must feel empowered to quickly make vital decisions at any given moment, to ensure we help customers when it matters most,” said Karen Abramson, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. “The Code Games create an environment where employees are encouraged to collaborate and compete, which helps drive an agile culture. This event is also fun, smart and encouraging!”
