Customer Solution Spotlight — Digital Signage

Companies operating dispersed sites around the globe are challenged when it comes to communicating with remote personnel.  As mission partners to our customers in far flung locations around the globe, we understand the need for an efficient solution that enables customers to reach even the most isolated employees. Everyday communications we take for granted in the corporate office – like receiving benefits updates and staying up-to-date on safety notices – can prove quite challenging to share with employees when they are stationed at military camps, drilling rigs, vessels or other remote sites.  

With the right content distribution system, companies can leverage digital signage to provide up-to-date, meaningful information to employees all around the world, regardless of their location. Harris CapRock recognizes that customers can obtain significant bottom-line results when they can address communications challenges through digital signage.

QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety & the Environment)

The welfare and safety of employees is of paramount importance in executing successful missions. By ensuring employees have the training and knowledge they need to operate safely, safety records and goals can be achieved. Common areas that can be communicated include:

  • Safety alerts and flashes
  • Live weather maps
  • Escalation procedures and contacts
  • Policy updates and changes

Employee Morale and Entertainment

The ability to participate in training and recreational activities is highly valued by remote personnel. Improving access to these amenities can significantly increase morale and on-the-job satisfaction and include areas such as:

  • Distance training
  • Employee recognition
  • Community events
  • Recreational schedules

Field Operations

When working at remote sites, personnel are oftentimes not seated in front of a computer to monitor the critical real-time information they need to perform their jobs successfully. By providing an up-to-date channel to receive real-time information that impacts job performance and direction, employees are more likely to perform their duties well. Real-time information on the following can be proactively distributed:

  • Transportation schedules
  • Meeting times and plans
  • Live video feeds of work-in-progress
  • Key announcements
