We're the Slack-based employee well-being and people analytics platform. Add Kona to any Slack workspace to level-up your employee support strategy. Make check-ins fun, visualize organization health, and support struggling teammates in real-time.
My team and I have been lucky enough to use Kona for a while already and I've been really impressed by how helpful it is! Not only do I get a 'vibe check' on my team, I really get deep insights that help me provide—and receive—support to greatest effect. I love how it fits cleanly within my current day-to-day workflow. No big gear shifting between HR mode and regular work mode. A really helpful platform!
This new product launch really takes Kona to a new level as a platform for getting real time insights into team health AND building great habits around putting people first. Great job team 🚀🚀🚀
@annawbarber Thank you so much! Exactly, we believe that you shouldn't need to over-survey your team in order to know how they're feeling. That's what Kona does– in a way that is actually valuable to the end-user!
We've been working hard to make this a reality for our customers, and I'm so excited to be able to share this with the world.
As a people leader, it's often really hard to stay on top of how your whole team is feeling. Especially with a remote team. But this is BY FAR the #1 most important thing that a high-performing company needs to track and support.
You've made the effort to build a team of superstars. Now your main job is to support them and ensure they are taking care of themselves. Kona makes this 10X easier, so you can focus on the "human" side of leadership.
Hi! I'm Yen, co-founder of Kona :)
I’m excited to share Kona’s biggest upgrade yet: the People Analytics Hub.
We spent several months working with the top People leaders in the world. Q4 was a challenging period for tech, and People Ops were the unsung heroes that kept their orgs afloat. Most startup HR teams worked with limited tools, gathering people insights through manual 1:1s and surveys.
People leaders need data on how people were feeling, in real-time, and in their workflow. We answered this with a brand new version of Kona. Now, you can turn any Slack workspace into a powerful People Analytics platform.
Kona helps leaders:
👀 Get a birds-eye view on team health, in real time
💚 Gather feedback in a way that engages employees
🤯 Know which initiatives are affecting team morale at scale
🔥 Catch struggling teams in real-time with smart Slack alerts
🙌 Reduce attrition by 5% when rolled-out across teams
👩🏻💻 Work with their tool stack: Slack, Google Calendar, and over 38+ HRIS systems
Kona is the easiest way to gather daily well-being feedback. Forget time-consuming surveys and opt for fun emoji check-ins that teams love. Then, visualize your insights in our People Analytics Hub.
People are your biggest (and most expensive) asset. We're democratizing access to People Analytics because every company deserves to make data-backed culture decisions. Not just large corporations with a dedicated People Analytics department.
I can’t wait to get some early feedback! The hub is very new and we’re still looking for ways to make it more robust and comprehensive. Super excited to hear what you think.
Thank you!
Yen
Preventative maintenance is the best maintenance. Kudos on enabling people-first organizations to lean forward instead of react. Outstanding launch, @itscorine and team!
@darrenmurph Thanks so much, Darren! We're lucky to have awesome leaders like yourself rooting for us. Excited to foster the people-first wave of work!
Have had Kona on the radar for a while. Slack updates is the most easy to understand people analytics format for HR people. This way you'll get the insights you actually need... not a bunch of crazy dashboards :)
