Everbridge COVID-19 Return to Work software solution
As the industry leader in critical event management solutions, Everbridge serves over 5,000 enterprise customers, 1,500 healthcare entities, 3,700 first responder agencies, and the populations of entire states and countries around the world. As organizations pivot to get back to normal activity, Everbridge’s new Return to Work solution enables businesses to manage the complexity of diverse city, state, and country guidelines and mandates that will evolve dynamically over time, as well as ensures compliance with a full audit trail. Everbridge helps businesses manage all of this complexity through real-time risk intelligence, based on 22,000 data sources across 175 countries, that tracks everything from virus hotspots and travel restrictions, to quarantines and states of emergency, to production stoppages and resumptions, to protests and civil unrest.
The new Everbridge Return to Work solution speeds up contact tracing efforts by providing an automated approach to tracking an individual’s exposure to the virus at work, drawing upon 225 pre-existing, out-of-the-box integrations with such systems as calendaring applications, corporate travel itineraries, building access control, and visitor management. Everbridge enables over 100 communication modalities, including its mobile app, to communicate with and provide real-time feedback from employees, such as wellness checks, which can be used to determine who are candidates to return to work. Overall, Everbridge digitizes and automates the end-to-end return-to-work process while dramatically improving the response time to prevent unnecessary exposure to the virus when days and even hours matter.
Health organizations such as The
“The world’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will be complex, staggered and unpredictable,” said
“As we return to work, it is clear that business is at the forefront of managing the pandemic,” said
Everbridge’s Return to Work software solution empowers organizations to:
- Automatically leverage the right intelligence, including changing government regulations such as quarantines, curfews, travel bans, new public health policies, and rapidly identify new disease outbreaks.
- Implement, manage and track the tasks for the right protocol at the right location and at the right time, e.g., testing, automated polling of employees or citizens, and enabling mobile wellness checks.
- Accelerate contact tracing by automating the discovery of symptomatic or infected workers – identifying the meetings, buildings, visitors they came in contact with – and mapping against prior travel. Prevent future infections by proactively warning individuals before they enter an incident zone, e.g. an infection hot spot such as an area near a hospital or nursing home, or countries experiencing an increase in outbreaks. Leverage special needs registries to note vulnerable individuals most in need of isolation protocols.
- Integrate polling data from employees or citizens – including results from wellness checks and safety check-ins – into decisions on who can return to work or public spaces.
- Automatically identify and manage impacts to specific assets, supply chain, and transportation routes by tracking production stoppages, closures, and civil unrest, all with a complete audit trail.
- Everbridge also enables governments to anonymously report on crowd movement and population density, without compromising privacy, in order to determine whether groups have achieved more critical mass than is permitted under distancing guidelines, and to verify the success of evacuation efforts.
For city, state, and national governments, Everbridge provides population alerting, incident zone management and citizen polling at country-wide scale, ensuring policies and restrictions are communicated as situations change; aggregates the most comprehensive risk intelligence from the Everbridge Network of public safety, healthcare, transportation and
