“As the number of threats facing businesses and their employees continues to grow, organizations of all sizes are realizing there has never been a greater need for timely, accurate, and efficient communication,” said Christopher Kenessey, CEO at AlertMedia. “The Employee Safety Conference is designed to give safety and security leaders spanning multiple industries a place to learn best practices and share strategies for everything from identifying threats and mitigating risks to building a sustainable safety culture. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to host our customers and facilitate multiple days of in-depth discussion about how organizations can protect their people and businesses, no matter the situation.”

Keynotes and panel discussions will cover trends, insights, and best practices on crisis communication strategies, safety leadership, risk management, and more. Additionally, collaborative workshops will provide hands-on product training and opportunities to learn how colleagues from other organizations approach employee safety and business continuity programs. Attendees will also receive an exclusive preview of AlertMedia’s product roadmap for 2023.
“It’s no longer an option to reactively respond to an emergency or crisis of any kind,” said Elizabeth Loucheur, COO at AlertMedia. “Our goal is to provide organizations with the tools and resources required to successfully navigate any emergency or operational incident that may impact their people or business. The Employee Safety Conference will serve as a catalyst for industry connection as well as process innovation when it comes to emergency preparedness, response, and recovery.”
From severe weather to civil unrest to public health crises, today’s evolving threat landscape has prompted more organizations to bolster their emergency preparedness and employee safety procedures to minimize loss and ensure operational resiliency. In fact, According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), businesses see an average return of $4 to $6 for every dollar invested in their workplace safety programs. Furthermore, companies that offer exemplary safety, health, and environmental programs outperform the S&P 500 by between 3 and 5 percent.
