Proactive Risk Management: Ensuring Employee Safety Through Rapid Communication Systems

 

As extreme weather events and cyber threats continue to rise, businesses are being forced to rethink how they safeguard employees in various locations. Proactive risk management is becoming essential, with the demand for solutions that provide real-time monitoring and rapid communication quickly becoming a top priority for many organizations.

What measures can companies take to ensure employees stay safe and informed during events like hurricanes or system outages?

Laura Floyd, Sales Engineer at Everbridge, outlines the essential strategies businesses need to adopt to maintain communication and ensure business continuity. One of the most important approaches is to implement proactive risk management by establishing reliable systems for quickly sharing critical information with employees across multiple platforms.

“One critical aspect is the ability to communicate with their employees. Organizations need to have systems in place to quickly disseminate pertinent information, such as building closures or wellness checks. It’s crucial for employees to know who to contact and what technology or systems they can use,” Floyd said.
