Envoy Boosts Workplace Safety with new Emergency Notification Capabilities

Envoy recently announced new features for Emergency Notifications.

The update adds proactive safety communication and anomaly detection capabilities that help organizations better prepare for emergencies, reduce response times, and meet compliance requirements across distributed workplaces.

“No matter the workplace, emergency response strategies are a necessity, not a luxury,” said Cormac Twomey, CTO of Envoy. “We’re raising the bar on what companies should expect from their safety systems. This update gives every workplace the power to act faster, stay compliant, and protect their people with confidence before, during, and after a crisis.”

New features for Emergency Notifications include:

• Real-time alerts with read receipts: Tracks who received, opened, and responded to critical messages.

• Two-way check-ins: Let employees confirm their safety or request help with just a tap.

• Command center dashboards: Manage live alerts and analyze trends across every location in real time.

• Emergency signage takeovers: Instantly display interactive maps and exit routes across digital signage.

• Audit-ready communication logs: Keep detailed records of every alert and response to support compliance.

• Run drills and test your plan: Leverage practice alert templates, identify gaps, and refine your response before a real emergency.

• Surface weather-related risks: In California, admins can receive severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service and choose whether to forward them to employees, with national coverage to come.

Envoy streamlines these features into a single, scalable platform along with other essential workplace management features that reduce manual operations, increase visitor hospitality, and ensure audit-ready compliance and the protection of people, places, and IP. To further support employee safety, Emergency Notifications provides companies with a reliable way to communicate during crises.

“Envoy’s product is so robust,” said Erica Medeiros, Senior Manager of Workplace at Iterable. “It’s not just visitor tracking. It’s not just occupancy tracking. It’s not just emergency notifications. It’s everything, and we need it all.”
