kendr Celebrates Launch Of Workplace App
Serves as 'Safe Space' for employees to communicate with employers; PBR conglomerate and other major companies soon to download platform
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- kendr, an efficient platform that allows employees to reach out confidentially to their employer via a "third party" app and website where their questions, suggestions and/or issues can be easily relayed and addressed, was officially launched today, according to kendr co-founder and renowned Los Angeles employment law attorney, Beth Schroeder; who represents companies that may be at risk for litigation by employees.
kendr in Hindi means "center." "That is exactly what the app is: a central meeting place—a 'safe space' for communication," said co-founder Jeremy Light.
Through the kendr conduit, communication between employers and employees is quickly handled and kept completely confidential. Employees can submit anonymously and if they do companies can still respond to gather more information. Within minutes of an employee sending a notice through their phone via kendr, the employer is notified and able to react and respond promptly. The employee receives an auto-reply confirming their message was received. Messages to employers may be tagged and organized. Employers are notified as each message comes in—in real time.
Companies may set up an account with kendr. Employees are sent an authentication code to activate the app; their communication is password protected ensuring complete privacy.
Long before the news of the Weinstein disaster broke, Schroeder was busy at work developing an app and website platform that would support kendr's purpose and tagline: "Safe Space for the Workplace." "I spent years working on all aspects of kendr's concept, purpose and technology to develop the various applications and uses of the app," Schroeder stated as she recalled what prompted her to create kendr. "I was working on a complex wage and hour class action suit, where my client, the defendant, was accused of 'off-the-clock' allegations." At the time, Schroeder believed that if some type of risk management tool had been in place—or a better means of communication readily available—her client may have been spared the enormous expense of such a lawsuit.
Although kendr may be used at any workplace in any industry, according to Schroeder and Light, those in hospitality, retail, manufacturing, and tech, are most likely to be the initial users and kendr's customer base.
Employers, Human Resource professionals and media are encouraged to request a complimentary one-on-one demo with a kendr staff member. Please email Beth Schroeder at [email protected] or Jeremy Light at [email protected].
