I’m absolutely in love with products that prioritize employee wellbeing. We’ve been using Kona for a long time now and I have to say it’s insanely impressive. When Kona pops in and let’s me know HOW a team member prefers to communicate, it’s kind of a magical moment for me. Love this team and product, and everything they stand for.
Congrats on launching Sid, Corine and Andrew! Every manager can benefit getting more visibility into their team's psyche and they should be encouraged to check in with folks on a more human level
Super talented founding team and such a much needed product in today’s remote work environment! Love the branding too. Can’t wait to see where this goes (to the moon 🚀)!
@ca_me Yes! Sounds a little weird at first — Slack apps are supposed to be lightweight, right? There's actually a lot to Kona under the surface that we want to cover in a 15-minute consultation, & we like to offer general culture best practices we've collected through interviewing more than 500 remote managers & working closely with executive coaches.
Let me know if you want to give it a try! :)
Excited for @pandiyasid@itscorine@andrewthezhou as this is an amazing team that continued to execute and truly build an amazing brand and product that the world so desperately needs! Build and lead teams with intentional empathy. Cant wait to see what this company and team looks like a year from now!
@robyn_ward You're so right. That's what 500+ interviews with remote managers told us. It's an honor to tackle this problem and build a more EQ-centric workforce!
@surayashivji thank you! We actually already support those - it was one of our most requested features. Our customers with globally distributed teams have the checkins set up for the morning in whichever timezone you're in :)
More important now than ever before. Mental and emotional health with remote teams is difficult to monitor, measure and improve, especially for non-managers. Any help to improve this is greatly appreciated.
