The Ultimate Employee Safety System

As an employer, you are invested in the safety and wellbeing of your employees. Not only are you responsible for them during business hours in the workplace, but you are also held accountable, to an extent, for their safety while they are traveling for work. This is why investing in a safety system for your employees just makes sense.

Keep Your Employees Comfortable with Virtual Halo

Virtual Halo is a personal safety app that was designed for travelers, and with new features for Virtual Halo Enterprise it is now the ultimate safety system for your employees no matter what industry you’re in. Here’s how the app’s features are keeping your employees safe:

SOS, Check In and Going Out Features

Virtual Halo is both proactive and reactive. With the Going Out feature (customizable by industry), the app will automatically send you a message if your employee hasn’t checked in after a set time; so if they were scheduled for a meeting you can follow up with them to make sure they’re OK. Alternatively, the Check In feature allows the employee to send you a message that lets you know they’re OK so you don’t need to follow up. Even better, this now syncs directly with Google Calendar and the O365 Calendar plugin to keep it simple and efficient for you and your employees. Then, if there is a problem your employee can hit the panic button. The SOS feature sends an instant notification with their location to let you know they’re in danger; that way you can get them the help they need.

Virtual Halo Enterprise for Business Keeps Them Safe, Keeps You Happy

With Virtual Halo Enterprise installed on your employees’ smart devices, you can keep in touch quickly and easily without being overburdened. As your employees travel for meetings, deliveries or on other business, you can relax knowing they have Virtual Halo on their side. This gives you peace of mind and makes your employees feel comfortable and safe as they travel.

Personal Security Is Changing It Up For Home Health Care Providers

Home health care providers offer a wide variety of home health services for both illnesses and injuries. These trained professionals carry a heavy responsibility to provide quality care to their patients, but travel carries inherent risks for them. Not only are they consistently traveling from place to place, either in a car, bus or other method of transportation, but they are also meeting multiple people throughout the day, many of which they may have never met before.

Here’s how personal security is changing it up for these home health care providers:

Taking Proactive Measures for Safety

Before they go out, home health care providers are now equipped with various types of safety measures to keep them safe while out on the job. Many of these are proactive, like the personal safety app Virtual Halo. These providers need to keep their phones on them at all times in case they are called to visit another patient unexpectedly or management needs to get in touch with them. By having Virtual Halo installed on this device, they have a personal safety net that works in the background without granting unpermitted access to their location or information. One of the app’s many features includes the ability to check in with a set of emergency contacts, such as their manager, throughout the day to let them know they’re okay, or send a message for help if they’re not.

Keeping Home Health Care Providers Safe

If the home health care provider feels uncomfortable, or that they may potentially be stepping into a dangerous situation at any time, they should have access to help when they need it. Personal security is keeping them safe by giving them access to more tools that enable them to avoid or escape these types of situations. Virtual Halo is just one of these many tools, which can also work reactively in the event of an emergency to request help when they need it by sending an instant SOS with their last known location to a list of preset emergency contacts. It’s making keeping home health care providers safe easier than ever before!
