Whether your organization calls them alerts, notifications, bulletins, or something else, it's difficult to overstate the importance of being able to alert your employee base to changing business conditions. The advances in productivity and collaboration achieved through investments in information systems can be eroded through information overload, spam, and competing priorities. An enterprise-class employee notification and alerting system allows managers to make instant course-corrections for the business with no time lost to disseminating information and no obfuscation of critical alerts among lower priority issues in cluttered inboxes.
The best way to notify your workforce to new and critical information is to alert them right on their desktop. The productivity lost to ubiquitous email systems that alert users to new messages on the desktop also proves the value of being able to reach your audience in this way. Whether you choose to use a desktop dashboard, enterprise sidebar, or pop up alerts from the tool tray, notifications that appear on the desktop are difficult to ignore. To retain the perceived importance and urgency of these alerts, you also need to differentiate them from common email notifications. Customizing the sounds, look and feel of these screen elements and disabling desktop alerting for email can all contribute to preserving the integrity of an effective enterprise notification and alerting system. In the same way, you can use these visual elements to communicate with your employees before they even read your alert: is it a green pop up? A red alert? What kind of sound accompanied its arrival?
