Our take
As companies are making greater commitments to paying and treating their employees more equitably, Syndio offers them an analytics driven platform that enables them to more easily measure, achieve, and maintain this. The startup counts a number of Fortune 500 companies amongst its customers, including American Airlines, Salesforce, and Nordstrom.
Workplace equity is about much more than just boosting brand reputation. Recruitment and staff retention, company culture, and business performance have all been shown to improve with better DE&I results. Therefore, the draw of Syndio’s offering is quite clear - enabling businesses to convert verbal promises into measurable, provable outcomes.
Syndio’s growth since its 2016 launch has been impressive, with funding secured in 2022 allowing it to ramp up operations and scaling efforts. It also joined the London Stock Exchange Issuer Services Marketplace, becoming a trusted third-party service provider for listed companies - which gives it a chance to serve yet more impressive clients.
