Being unaware of problems at your business will not protect you from monetary, brand and other damages. Although unaware of the hostile environment and workplace harassment, many large corporations have experienced work shut downs when employees walked out, lawsuits and millions of dollars in fines, immeasurable brand damage and more.

Encourage employees, management and your workplace community to report unusual, unethical or suspicious activities, locations, individuals, and vehicles that may be causing concern and/or distress. Reports can be made anonymously (or not) via the Internet and, optionally, via e-mail, SMS texts, social media or telephone.

These reports are delivered to your team before issues escalate into more serious threats. The StaySAFER Network will help you stay informed so you can offer proactive interventions to maintain safe and secure workplaces that comply with corporate policies and government regulations. This will help reduce turnover and risk while protecting your corporate brand and profits

The StaySAFER Network is a unique All-Hazards Emergency & Risk Management platform that is feature rich and includes all the tools that, historically, have proven to be necessary for success before, during and after an emergency.

STAYSAFER SUPPORTS INDUSTRY STANDARD SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Central Reporting Tool:

Any sexual harassment, bullying, theft, fraud, etc. will immediately decline as it becomes clear that any witness – employees, customers, vendors, anyone – can quickly and easily report any suspicious actions and/or situations. This drastically increases the likelihood of discovery. Once reported, you have the opportunity to intervene prior to escalation, further loss and additional brand damage. Demonstrate your commitment to your employees, your profits and your brand. See Intelligence for more information.

• Central Recognition Tool:

Deserved positive reinforcement is an effective method of improving employee job satisfaction and retention, mental health, increasing productivity, quality and success. Building a strong community of courtesy and cooperation will reduce workplace distractions that are depressing profits and damaging your brand. See Intelligence for more information.

• Multidisciplinary Teams:

Multidisciplinary Teams including Security, Human Resources, Engineering and others who can offer perspective and recommendations while preventing retaliation towards the reporter are key elements of a successful program. This team may manage reports (see Intelligence feature above) and assist in the development and implementation of intervention and management policies and strategies to mitigate any risk of harm. Increased success occurs when including those people who need to know now; who need to prevent before; who need to act after; who are trained to help during. Access the right people at the right time, 24/7/365. See People and Communication for more information.
