**Salpulse **is a blend of the words ***Salp ***and ***Pulse***. We chose this name because Sea Salps are a lot like organisations. Individual Salps, as unique as snowflakes, come together cooperatively, to build something more amazing and beautiful than any single Salp on their own. This is a picture of a Salp colony living its purpose. We think it's a pretty cool story.

In Salpulse, you Send a Recognition ***Salp ***to a colleague to reinforce the desired culture and you take a regular ***Pulse ***of the culture, using your employees as sensors.
