Short description
Enterprise personal safety solution (platform and app) to empower the Global remote workforce with our white labeled/api integrated software
Description
PROtect, an enterprise personal safety solution, is changing the landscape of corporate responsibility on a Global scale. The workplace landscape is changing. By 2020, 50% of the Global workforce will work remotely and there is an anticipated 48% increase in business-travel to medium and high-risk locations. This has made the monitoring and management of employee safety an incredibly challenging endeavor as the traditional workplace is no longer one contained environment.
This changing landscape increases the exposure of employees to hazardous health situations, natural disasters, crime and terror-related threats. As a result, this elevated risk level heightens the corporate liability, legal and moral duty of care that a business has for its ever-moving workforce.
This new reality of elevated risks within the corporate space has led to a shift in the approach towards risk management, where a formalized strategic-company-wide travel management solution is more likely to be adopted. Current travel-risk-management strategies are inept to effectively manage the ever-increasing rise in travelling and remote workers as they are handled manually and coordinated across disparate systems, spreadsheets and email. In any given moment, most companies would have no idea how to accurately locate individual employees in an event of an emergency. Reversely, most employees have no idea who to contact when they find themselves in dangerous situations.
The consequences of operational failures due to inept and restrictive systems can range from minor inconveniences to major catastrophes, adversely affecting multi-facets of an organization: harm or death to employees, poor brand reputation, financial ramifications, eroding productivity, impaired organization and legal liability.
Companies need a tool in place that allows for:
• The real-time GPS location all employees who potentially face a safety risk
• Two-way communication during an emergency
• The demonstration of proactive safety mechanisms for the entire workforce
The Solution:
My PROtect App addresses this one giant gapping need in the space – the ability to account for any individual employee in real-time with accurate GPS coordinates and creating active lines of communication during high-risk situations.
There is no other tool on the market specifically designed to empower both corporate Safety teams (including Travel Risk Management) and individual employees with the ability to contact, locate and initiate emergency response plans in real-time
