What is an employee notification system?

An employee notification system is designed to send rapid and reliable text (sms), email and voice messages and alerts from administrators to employees.  Today, it’s considered a fundamental component of a business continuity program.  Simplified Alerts is a cloud-based employee notification system that sends text alerts, email and voice messages to employees. 

Employee notification systems are often managed by departments within an organization including HR, Safety, IT, and Facilities Management.  Important features in an employee notification system include an available app, two-way messaging, keyword sending (for sign-up and incident reporting), surveys, voting, appointment setting advanced scheduling of alerts and messages.  Systems like Simplified Alerts offer advanced notification system features like IT status alerts, employee panic alerts and employee geo-check-ins to quickly locate employees. 

An employee notification system may not be used all the time, but it must be easy-to-use, reliable and scalable to be there when you need it to send critical alerts to employees for weather outages, schedule changes, outage alerts and on-premise emergencies.
