The Role of Scalable Technology
Low-cost technology is a simple way to provide comprehensive protection to your staff at scale, addressing critical needs in real-time. With our tech service, you can effectively mitigate risks, safeguard your staff, preserve brand reputation and avoid litigation.
Our research has found that over half of employees already recognise the benefits of personal safety solutions and would take one up if offered by their employer. Providing this technology also improves brand reputation as 48% of employees said they would see their employer in a better light if they offered personal security solutions.
Peoplesafe are people risk management specialists. Protecting people is all that we do.
We can work with you to implement a solution that meets the demands of changing workforce models, helping to ensure staff safety onsite, whilst commuting and working from home.
Round-the-clock assistance
Our specialised service provides a professional 24/7 response to incidents and can get emergency help on the scene in just 4 minutes on average. All alarms are answered by expert call handlers within 6 seconds providing employees with immediate access to emergency assistance if an incident occurs.
Through this process our dedicated control centre will triage the call to filter out and close false alarms, ensuring only genuine incidents are escalated.
Real-time reporting
Using Peoplesafe, everyone can check in and out of their working day with reports automatically generated for managers, enabling you to automatically confirm that your employees have ended the day safely without needing to physically see them.
When needed, we can provide breadcrumb tracking information so you can understand staff movements in an emergency, as well as pinpointing their exact location.
You can streamline operations, reduce administrative burdens, and optimise resource allocation using this data.
Security and welfare tools
With the ability to check-in and out of tasks, set timed activities and schedule welfare checks, you gain valuable insights into the security and wellbeing of your people.
If an employee were to become ill or injured while working and was unable to raise an alarm manually, these provisions enable timely detection of the situation, allowing you to ensure the safety of those working remotely.
Our research found that when travelling for business, a staggering 75% of workers have safety concerns. From the fear of becoming a victim of crime to worries about being followed, these apprehensions underscore the critical need for proactive safety measures.
Travelsafe, a feature on our personal security app, leverages our 24/7 call centre, to respond to alarms raised during travel, addressing employers' challenge of determining whether an employee has safely reached their destination by providing real-time monitoring.
Employees enter their start point, destination and how they’re travelling. Using this information, Travelsafe calculates how long the journey should take and generates an estimated arrival time alongside a timed alarm.
If your employee hasn’t reached their destination by the ETA, an alarm is activated and pre-determined contacts will be informed.
To provide an additional layer of security, employees can schedule regular notifications, or ‘welfare checks’ to confirm their wellbeing. If these prompts go unanswered, an SOS alarm call is sent to the control centre who will start the escalation process to get help.
Staff can save important information about their journey within the app, providing the Controller with useful information in an emergency. For example, the registration number of a taxi, the planned route or the names of travel companions.
By implementing Travelsafe, you can address the safety concerns of your workforce while providing scalable protection to all employees, demonstrating a commitment to their wellbeing and security. Crucially, it assures you that you'll be informed if an employee doesn't reach their destination safely, allowing for immediate action.
Recognising the prevalence of safety concerns during commuting, it’s imperative for organisations to extend their security efforts beyond the workplace.
Throughout our research, it became clear that many employees felt unsafe at times adjacent to their working day.
They want to be supported travelling to and from work to feel more confident and know that they can access help if something happens.
A 24/7 personal safety service provides round-the-clock protection: inside and outside working hours, allowing employers to deliver an extended duty of care without having to always be available.
Access to personal safety technology outside of working hours also acts as a workplace perk that can play a significant role in talent acquisition and staff retention. Having this as a benefit can help employers to stand out in a crowded and noisy market.
