Kanarys

Have we ever told you the story behind our name, Kanarys? ⁣

The canary in a coal mine was once a mining tradition to ensure workers' safety underground. Coal miners would often carry the birds into the mines to monitor the quality of the air while they worked. At the end of the day, when workers emerged from the mines, the healthy birds symbolized a workplace environment that was nontoxic and safe. ⁣

Just like the canaries that alerted miners of a toxic atmosphere, Kanarys aims to diagnose whether a workplace is healthy for employees by surfacing the “canaries,” providing companies with the framework, benchmarking, and data they need to incorporate best-in-class DEI practices in every area of their organization. 💛
