A new business communication platform that focuses on connecting new hires with the company's employees in a fun and awkward-free approach.
Key Research Insights
We talked to people who had recently changed jobs in the pandemic. They felt isolated and lonely at their new remote job. What would have made a difference in their life?
Reaching out to new coworkers felt nerve wracking and intimidating. They also worried that when they were called back into the office it would feel uncomfortable without relationships in place.
