While remote work isn’t a new concept, it has become increasingly normalized as a workplace perk in the last four years—especially for roles that weren’t traditionally remote. Once it became more prominent, remote work shifted from a lofty dream benefit to an almost expected standard for a comfortable work environment.
It’s true that more and more businesses have decided to call employees back into the office. But for those maintaining remote flexibility, HR still plays a key role in ensuring effective communication, collaboration, and performance management among remote employees. And who says managing a remote team has to result in weaker communication or oversight?
That’s where Pendant comes in. With tools designed for remote-friendly workflows, Pendant helps businesses maintain strong communication without the friction of outdated processes.
1. Softens Remote Onboarding Holdups With Easy to Create Checklists

2. Makes Employee Benefits Clear and Accessible with Pendant’s Benefits Wiki
Understanding benefits is one of the biggest hurdles in onboarding—especially for remote employees who can’t swing by HR’s office with questions.
