Our take
80% of people don’t work at desks, but the technology for deskless workers only attracts 1% of all enterprise software investment. Consequently, little software has been designed to benefit the frontline. Sona is a workforce technology startup setting out to help solve this issue, building an all-in-one platform specially designed to empower frontline workers and help their employers retain staff and operate more efficiently.
By using its app, users can view and claim shifts, communicate with their colleagues, and book holidays. Moreover, Sona has additional modules for HR, Payroll, and Engagement, so customers can manage all of their people operations in one place, or integrate with their existing tools.
Sona is an early-stage startup, yet already counts big names across Social Care, Hospitality, and the Charities sector who have combined to book millions of shifts on the Sona platform.

Sona genuinely care about staff wellbeing, there's no token consideration or pretence. The 4.5 day working week and flexible hours make for a great work-life balance. They put trust in their employees to just get their work done and do it to the best of their ability, which helps us to feel autonomous and do our best work. The way they treat their staff is exemplary.

Focus on employee wellbeing
May 2022
Sona hire people who they believe will be great at their job and then trust them from that point to just do it without micromanagement or office politics. I feel completely autonomous in my role and that my skills, experience and anything else I bring are truly valued. There is a balance of being given enough responsibility that you feel challenged and motivated, but enough support that you never feel overwhelmed or stuck.
