The Remote Burnout Report 2023 is live! Check it out →
Our founding team bonded over terrible experiences with remote work. A terrible manager. A failed startup. A summer of burnout.
We knew work could be better, healthier, and happier. So we turned to experts to learn what makes remote work hard. We've interviewed 800+ leaders since January 2020.
Their pain was loud and clear. Remote teams are built on trust. But it’s difficult to build relationships and understand how everyone feels without meeting face-to-face.
We built Kona to help remote workers fight burnout and build connections without changing how they work. We empower leaders to support their teams where they need it most.
To us, empathy and wellbeing at work aren't just an add-on. They're a must-have.
Today, Kona is trusted by hundreds of people-first remote teams around the globe.
