Throughout their careers, though varied and unique, the leadership of Kanarys has experienced first-hand some of the issues other underrepresented demographics face in the workplace. Sexual harassment, bias and a feeling of not belonging to a company were things each had faced in their own way, and as the idea of the company was formulating, they realized that they were not alone in facing workplace discrimination.

The old story is that coal miners used to take a bird, often a canary, down into the mines with them. The safety of the air quality was determined by the health of the bird. If the bird became ill or died, workers knew it was time to get out. The founders of Kanarys hope their platform will be the digital version of this, measuring the cultural health of a workplace, across a number of industries.

“Not only does it really stand for our company, as far as being able to be that first alert for workplaces, but traditionally that whole analogy is about workplaces and being able to highlight and see if a workplace is toxic,” said Mandy Price, Kanarys CEO. “That’s what Kanarys is doing: being able to shine a light and show workplaces how to be better, but also show whether an environment is toxic or not, and then help [companies] to address those issues.”
