The Red-Yellow-Green daily check-ins make me doubly prepared for 1-1s as I can see at a glance how my team has been doing in and outside of work. Can’t recommend Kona enough.

Kona gives me daily pulse what's happening with my team, their mental health, and their capacity to do their best work. In a remote environment, this is extremely critical as I can't get this information like you would in an office setting--observing them in the office, chatting with them between meetings or focus hours, etc. Having the regular morning check-in always ensures that I keep the team top of mind in my approach for my work as their manager as I begin my day as well.

I love how simple it is to do a daily check in across the team, and yet how powerful it can be to have everyone be aligned. I'm also in awe of how wonderful their Kona app is at sending along suggestions when a teammate isn't doing great. Kona is helping our fully remote team feel more connected every day.
