As an employer it\u2019s your duty to keep your staff out of harms\u2019 way. An easy job when your workforce&nbsp;consists of 20 people, but what if you need to reach thousands of&nbsp;employees simultaneously?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How fast and how well you communicate with your staff during an unexpected emergency can be the difference between life and death. Your margin for error is slim. Seconds count. In the event of an emergency, Netpresenter makes sure everyone is alerted immediately by targeting the devices that are used and viewed most frequently by your staff: their smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-app-alerts\">App Alerts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Netpresenter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresenter.com\/employee-communication-platform\/tools\/employee-app\">Employee app<\/a> transforms mobile phones into personal safety devices. Besides the fact that app usage is completely free, our&nbsp;technology doesn&#8217;t require the app to be open on a mobile device in order for a message to be received. This allows a&nbsp;smartphone&nbsp;to receive and display&nbsp;alerts even when the device&#8217;s screen is locked and the app is closed. The app alerts are virtually instantaneous once a decision is made to send them, enabling your staff to react right away&nbsp;and make a safe exit.&nbsp;Watch the video below and discover what happens before and after an app alert&nbsp;is triggered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@netpresenter\/video\/7254896080763047195\" data-video-id=\"7254896080763047195\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@netpresenter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@netpresenter?refer=embed\">@netpresenter<\/a> <p>You think it&#8217;s hot in the office?
