The food industry has numerous rules and regulations which are specific to positions within the staff as well as the overall industry. Administrators are required to notify personnel of these policies and update changes on a regular basis. A desktop alert is extremely useful for these instant notifications. They may be prepared in advance for later delivery and divided according to field or specialty. Options include a snooze button, recurrence, or links that must be electronically signed to guarantee the employee has read the relevant material. Real time records are available to the administrator to ensure receipt and that policy has been adhered to.

Requiring a link to be clicked, the use of a quiz to test knowledge, or allowing a real time response are a few options which are available. Quizzes are a very popular feature, and may include Gamification, which is extremely helpful when working with younger employees. They require interaction, are an excellent training tool, and may be used to reinforce material that has been previously covered.

The ability to flash the notifications on the top of the screen regardless of what is being accessed at the time and the recurrence rate is able to be determined by administration. This protects employees as well as alerting them to developing situations that may affect their workload. A reliable desktop alert system is crucial to the food industry.
