CME Can Keep Employees Informed of Weather Situations

We often think of schools closing when bad winter weather hits, but there are a lot of businesses and organizations that close as well. A broadcast communication system for businesses can work much the same way as it does for school districts in these situations, and can be just as valuable. Using Communications Made Easy in a business setting is useful if you have to contact several employees at once. Here are a few examples:

In rural areas, many employees travel 30 - 45 miles, or even more, to work every day. A snow storm can easily leave 2 or 3 inches in one area while dumping 5 or 6 inches just 30 miles down the road. So, commutes that didn't receive much snow might not even think to call ahead about road conditions. In this situation, a broadcast message to all employees can warn them of dangerous road conditions or announce that a business will be closed.

Or perhaps the electricity has gone out and a business has decided to close until it is restored. A broadcast message can easily inform employees, without the need of the Internet. Simply call our 24-hour concierge desk and have our customer service representatives send a message for you.

On the other hand, maybe your business requires extra personnel in bad weather. If you run a snow removal business or a power company , you'll need everyone available to respond. With CME, you can quickly request early arrivals or dispatch certain employees to branch locations or satellite offices.

In these situations, it's not very efficient to rely on calling trees or have one person try to make contact with every employee. You can save a lot of time and send notifications much quicker with CME.
