Hybrid workplaces need to update emergency communications
A report surveying over 500 full-time employees on worker safety revealed disparities between employer- and employee-preferred emergency communication methods. The Workplace Safety and Preparedness Report from Rave Mobile Safety found that 33% of workers were unaware or unsure of their company's emergency response plans (ERMs) in March 2021.
Fourteen percent of respondents reported working in a fully remote environment from March 2020-2021, while over 50% said that their workplace adopted a hybrid model. Just under one-third (28%) of employees surveyed worked in-person every business day.
