The Solution

In selecting Peoplesafe, Dignity sought a full-service personal safety platform that could address the wide-ranging challenges faced by their diverse workforce, both in and outside of the workplace. Peoplesafe stood out for its comprehensive approach, offering a range of solutions and expert support.

Watch the video below to hear from Kim Clark, Senior Safety Manager at Dignity, as she explains why they chose to partner with Peoplesafe.

A key factor in Dignity’s decision to partner with Peoplesafe was the 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), accredited to the highest industry standards and offering direct access to police control rooms. This ensures the fastest possible response in an emergency, a critical benefit for employees carrying out high-risk tasks or working in situations that could escalate quickly.

Peoplesafe’s range of practical and user-friendly solutions allowed Dignity to select the best fit for their employees. With the variety of risks across their workforce, Dignity chose to equip 1,000 staff with MySOS devices, which have been distributed across teams in funeral homes, care centres, crematoria, and a coffin manufacturing facility in Yorkshire.

Additionally, Peoplesafe’s customisable features allow Dignity to tailor safety measures to meet the unique needs of each employee, ensuring the right level of protection for every individual.

State-of-the-Art ARC

The 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) ensures help reaches employees twice as fast as 999, with direct access to police control rooms. This speed is critical for employees in high-risk situations.

Customisable Safety Features

Employees can use features like check-ins, timers and welfare checks that can automatically raise an alarm if they fail to confirm their safety. This acts as a failsafe, guaranteeing that any personal security issues are quickly identified and addressed.

Discreet Emergency Response

Employees can silently and quickly call for help without drawing attention with the press of a button, providing a vital lifeline in high-risk or emotionally charged situations.

Protecting Every Employee

Dignity has also set a brand new standard of personal safety across the workforce by inviting all colleagues across their business to install the Peoplesafe SOS App on either a company or personal mobile device.

This means that 4,000 additional employees are able to benefit from industry-leading protection and support from a professional control centre at the touch of a button. Unlike free personal safety apps relying on family and friends, this solution is monitored by expert call handlers who are trained for these situations and can bypass 999.

This proactive approach to employee safety gives staff peace of mind knowing that help is always just a button away—whether they’re working late, travelling alone, or out with family.
