Envoy Adds Emergency Notification Capabilities

New text, push and email notification capabilities allow users of the Envoy platform to send tailored messages to employees and visitors during emergencies.

Safeguarding people, property and data in workplaces is growing in complexity as companies are becoming more dispersed and siloed.

Envoy points to a recent survey finding that 41 per cent of security, workplace, facilities and IT managers report safeguarding workplaces has become more difficult in the last 12 months.

Additionally, it says large numbers cite increasing threats to the workplace, hybrid work and the rise of co-working and working in shared spaces as adding to security challenges.
