Largely, perhaps, as a result\nof the #MeToo movement, housekeepers are being issued with panic buttons that they\ncan use in the event of assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technology behind these panic buttons takes different\nforms, including GPS that tracks the employee as they move around, wi-fi\nenabled fobs and mobile phone applications, which can be integrated with a\nphysical panic button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest costs associated with the hospitality business is employee turnover. Ensuring a safe workplace for your employees is vital and issuing panic buttons can be an effective way for a housekeeper to know that they are protected should an unpleasant situation arise. Being able to alert staff of an incident with just the push of a button allows housekeepers to be more comfortable working alone in quiet places and feel in control of their own safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst there are many companies offering variations of a panic button, the general idea is as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If an unpleasant situation were to arise, the worker pushes the button on the device.<\/li><li>The location of the worker is transmitted.<\/li><li>Alerts are sent to hotel security or management via notification. The software identifies the precise location of where the button was pressed and provides data about the unfolding situation.<\/li><li>Hotel staff are then sent to respond to the emergency.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that data is sent to the correct people to ensure that an emergency can be responded to as soon as possible. Some programmes allow for a video to be triggered by a certain event, for example, a doorway being breached out-of-hours. This allows users to watch a situation unfold and therefore respond appropriately quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your hotel is considering issuing panic buttons to your workers, call us on +44 203 034 2244 or +1 323 984 8908.
