What this helps you do
A workday notice goes to one audience: the site, shift, crew or department the change affects, or All Employees when it genuinely concerns everyone. It reaches each person by email, or on Blasts if they connected. The composer supports formatting, links and images, attached files for people on Blasts, an optional YES / NO question, and Send a test to me. You can send now, schedule for later, or repeat weekly.
When to use it
Use it when the workday changes: a site closed, a delayed start, a change to where or when people report, a closed entrance, a site safety instruction, a system outage that stops the work. Use it for the dated reminders too, like a benefits deadline or a policy's effective date. Respect employee time: send off-hours only when the change genuinely affects the next work period.
How to do it
- Open Send, or start from a template: Site closure, Delayed start or reporting change, Building or site access, Site safety instruction, System outage affecting work, Extra shifts available, Benefits or HR deadline, Policy effective date.
- Pick the one audience it concerns.
- Write what changed, who it affects, what to do, and where the authoritative schedule or instruction lives. Link to documents; an attached file reaches people on Blasts only, so employees receiving by email need the link.
- Read the Delivery panel: one Blasts credit per person on Blasts, one email credit per email.
- Click Send a test to me, then Send now, Schedule for later or Repeat weekly. A send to All Employees asks for your passkey first.
Example
A power failure takes down the east plant at 5:40 a.m. The operations lead picks East Plant, writes that the early shift should not report and that the next instruction comes by 9, and sends. The people who work there hear it before they leave home; nobody at the other sites is told anything.
Good to know
- An immediate send is held for about a minute so you can cancel it from Sent & Scheduled; nothing is charged for a cancelled Blast.
- A YES / NO reply is counted against your company's most recent YES / NO message from the last three days, whichever audience it went to, so ask one question at a time across the whole company. A reply is not an acknowledgement or a sign-off, and the Hub fills no shift: for extra shifts, point people to your own scheduling process.
- This is not an emergency notification system and satisfies no notice obligation. Your emergency procedures and required notices stay exactly where they are.
- If a lead's Blasts need approval (Settings), their send waits under Sent & Scheduled until an administrator approves it.
- Recurring Blasts, such as a Monday safety reminder, are managed under Sent & Scheduled.
