This ensures P&W can effectively promote employee protection and life safety.
Case Study Problem
With such a large area – and high number of employees – Pratt & Whitney faces numerous communication challenges during emergencies and other critical incidents, such as evacuations and severe weather. Employee protection and life safety is extremely important to P&W, so being a global company with such a large base of high-profile customers and stakeholders, P&W needed a method for quickly notifying these individuals as well as affected employees in a minutes notice during an incident.

Pratt & Whitney chose Everbridge’s Unified Critical Communication Suite to connect with employees, customers, and stakeholders during critical incidents or events. Users are able to get messages about any type of incident that could impact them, including evacuations.
