The story behind Shkudo

Shkudo was born from a simple observation: Many employees experience burnout, discrimination, bullying or mental health challenges, yet often don’t know where to turn for support. At the same time, HR departments are often only involved once problems have already escalated.
​
That’s why we founded Shkudo – a proactive, people-centred platform that helps employees and organisations address challenges early, confidentially and effectively. Today, Shkudo supports employees throughout the entire support journey – from prevention and early intervention to professional case support and therapy, through to Return2Work.
​
Shkudo is more than a product – it is a tool for creating a healthier workplace culture where trust, safety and wellbeing are at the centre.

The Team behind Shkudo

Founder / CEO

Vasco Furrer

I founded Shkudo because I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to find the right support in challenging situations when you need it most. With Shkudo, I want to help break down these barriers and strengthen mental health where we spend a large part of our lives: in the workplace.
