DEMO Enterprise Winner, Parklet, Launches to Re-Think Human Resources

Parklet Unveils New Application to Improve Employee Engagement and Retention

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2014) - Parklet (https://www.parklet.co) joins the ranks of past winners Salesforce, Evernote and WebEx as this year's winner of the DEMO Enterprise Conference. The San Francisco-based company is a part of a new class of enterprise solutions aimed to bring consumer level design and engagement to workplaces tasked with retaining Generation Y employees.

It is projected that by 2025, Generation Y will make up roughly 75 percent of the world's workforce. As companies look toward hiring more and more Generation Y employees who demand connectivity and culture in the workplace, solutions such as Parklet are becoming ever more integral for companies to retain their talent.

Parklet has been operating quietly since 2012 and has already developed an impressive customer base including some of the fastest growing companies in the US.

This past week, the company used the DEMO Enterprise conference as a public launching pad for its first two products, People and Life Cycles, found at www.parklet.co.

The first product, People, is a customizable employee portal that allows employees to easily get to know one another and the company itself. It provides everything from basic contact information to a deep history of the company and its milestones. Parklet's Life Cycle product helps companies manage everything from on-boarding to off-boarding for Operations, Human Resources and IT teams.

"As companies grow, there become points where employees start to lose track of where they fit within the organization," said Dane Hurtubise, co-founder of Parklet. "This disconnect leads to higher turnover and dissatisfaction at work. Parklet solves this by creating a place for employees to engage with their employer and coworkers."

Potential customers will find detailed descriptions of each product, along with customer stories and a way to contact sales, at www.parklet.co.
