Co-founded by a former employment and HR lawyer, Work Shield is growing its business—and pursuing its mission to help employers report, investigate, and resolve workplace misconduct.
Now in its third year, the program from Dallas Innovates and D CEO honors 78 disruptors and trailblazers driving a new vision for innovation in North Texas.
Jared Pope's HR tech startup offering technology to streamline workplace harassment and discrimination claims increased its client base by 250 percent. But it's more than a "check-the-box" compliance company.
Next up, the startup plans to move its headquarters to a new Dallas location, double its staffing, and raise a Series B funding round.
In this weekly roundup of executive and leadership moves by North Texas companies and organizations, you'll also find news from Keurig Dr Pepper, JLL, Work Shield, Balekian Hayes, and more.
