The increasing frequency of critical events such as COVID-19, severe weather, and civil unrest over the past few years has challenged many organizations to extend their duty of care responsibilities beyond traditional safety and security in the workplace to include health and wellness of people. At the same time the scope of those responsibilities has moved beyond the traditional office/plant-based work model to work in motion where an employee could be working in the office, at home, in the field, or traveling.
Everbridge People Resilience helps businesses prepare for, and respond to, critical events, keeping people healthy, safe, and productive wherever they work or travel around the globe. Built on Everbridge’s industry-leading critical event management (CEM) platform, businesses can detect potential threats that might impact people, and orchestrate a rapid response across teams and digital/physical systems.
Proactively monitor the risks to your workforce anywhere in the world they will be working.
Rapidly respond to events impacting your workforce’s safety, security, health and wellness.
Secure, reliable, and scalable
COVID-19 continues to cause unprecedented challenges for organizations everywhere, and will continue to change business operations for the foreseeable future. Everbridge empowers companies to understand the needs of their employees, carefully coordinate their return to the workspace, and reestablish pre-crisis levels of safety and operations with risk assessment and contact tracing, all through a single pane of glass.
Active shooter incidents are unpredictable and evolve fast. Situational awareness and effective communication can help manage the chaos and prevent a potentially devastating event from escalating before law enforcement arrives.
Whether an employee is working at their desk, visiting a client in a foreign country or going on a long-term assignment, organizations have a duty of care for their safety. Pre-trip briefings, real-time intelligence, reliable two-way communication, medical, security, and travel assistance services can help keep traveling employees safe — helping them avoid unnecessary risks and warning them if they are approaching potentially dangerous situations.
Mark Terry, the Director of Global Enterprise Security for Rackspace, explains how Rackspace leverages Everbridge Safety Connection to ensure the safety and productivity of their employees around the world.
“We had an employee who left the office at lunchtime as a bombing was occurring, and she was walking towards that area. We were able to instantly notify her, so she didn’t get caught in the mayhem.”

Protecting the safety, security, health and wellness of field workers working in isolated situation with no co-workers or supervision can be especially challenging for organizations. Mobile phones and wearable devices can extend a lifeline for these employees providing wellness and safety checks, “see something, say something”, virtual escorting, and a dedicated S.O.S. panic button to minimize the hazards lone workers are exposed to on a regular basis.
“Leveraging Everbridge, this team knows how to respond in a fire, weather emergency, electrical outages and violent intruder situation events occur and can end quickly, so from a facility standpoint, our goal is to get employees out of the building.”
