Insights.
With an expanding team to care for, Kontor needed a simple solution to support their staff. In December 2023, they partnered with Sonder to provide mental health, safety and medical support, all in one place.

Whether it's a billion dollar disruptor or a fast-growing scale-up, Kontor's mission is to find inspiring office space where teams actually want to work.

Acting as a real estate partner, Kontor's diverse team manages all of the searching, shortlisting and negotiating involved in finding a new office space.

As a forward-thinking company, who understands that each of their team member's health and wellbeing journey is unique, Kontor wanted to provide their team with personalised support.

Safety, medical and mental health

Through the Sonder app, the Kontor team can now access wellbeing tools and resources, including assessments and notifications to keep healthy habits on track. They'll also receive immediate 24/7 clinical care via live chat or phone.

This support extends to safety features, with real-time alerts regarding local travel disruptions or hazards. Employees can also use Sonder's safety tools like Check On Me and the Track My Journey feature, ensuring they reach their destinations safely. A network of Sonder Responders also provide on the ground assistance when needed.

"Ensuring the wellbeing of our team has always been a top priority at Kontor. Partnering with Sonder allows us to take a proactive approach to support our people in every aspect of their lives - be it mental health, safety, or medical concerns of their own and their families."

Samuel Haworth, Finance Director, Kontor

Embracing Active Care

With Sonder, Kontor's people now have access to the right care at the right time. Their commitment to employee wellbeing also extends beyond their workforce, with Kontor providing access to Sonder not only for employees but also for their families.

"We're excited to be partnering with Kontor in the UK as they disrupt the office leasing market. Through our best-in-class safety, medical and mental health support, we'll be supporting their people - and their families - all in one place."

Craig Cowdrey, Co-founder and CEO, Sonder
