Workplace safety receives an enhancement through the introduction of advanced emergency notification features by the envoy.
Envoy's Updated Emergency Notifications System Boosts Workplace Safety and Compliance
In a bid to enhance workplace safety, compliance, and emergency response effectiveness, Envoy has announced new features for its Emergency Notifications system. The updates aim to help organizations prepare for emergencies, reduce response times, and meet compliance requirements.
The key features of the updated system include real-time alerts with read receipts, two-way check-ins, proactive safety communication and anomaly detection, a centralized platform for alerting, visibility, and compliance logging, evacuation routes via emergency signage takeovers, and command center dashboards for real-time management and analysis of alerts across locations.
With real-time alerts and read receipts, organizations can send emergency notifications and confirm that employees have received and seen them. Two-way check-ins enable employees to report back on their safety status or request help during an emergency. Proactive safety communication and anomaly detection help organizations better prepare for emergencies and reduce response times.
The centralized platform addresses gaps from fragmented manual protocols, unifying emergency responses across distributed workplaces. Evacuation routes can now be shared via emergency signage takeovers, improving clarity in emergency procedures. Command center dashboards enable real-time management and analysis of alerts across locations.
Organizations can also run drills and test their emergency response plans using the new features. Cormac Twomey, CTO of Envoy, stated that emergency response strategies are necessary. Audit-ready communication logs are now available, keeping detailed records of every alert and response for compliance purposes.
Erica Medeiros, Senior Manager of Workplace at Iterable, praised Envoy's product as comprehensive, stating it's not just for visitor or occupancy tracking, but for everything related to workplace management. The new features are applicable across distributed workplaces, helping organizations meet compliance requirements.
In California, admins can receive severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service and choose whether to forward them to employees with Envoy's Emergency Notifications. National coverage for this feature is set to come soon.
DMP introduces JamAlert, a detection device to combat the growing threat of illegal cell jammers, leaving security systems vulnerable. This device is not part of Envoy's Emergency Notifications system but is another step towards enhancing workplace safety and security.
These enhancements are particularly relevant in today's complex work environments facing growing climate and safety threats. By integrating emergency features with other workplace management features, Envoy's product aims to reduce manual operations, increase visitor hospitality, and ensure audit-ready compliance and protection of people, places, and IP.
