Weather is a part of everybody's daily lives. It dictates how you are going to welcome each new day. When you wake up in the morning, you look outside the window and check the weather. Is it fine? Is it rainy? Is it cold outside? The weather matters on many small but important decision-making in your everyday life. Will you wear shorts sleeves or long sleeves? Will you wear your stilettos to work or your boots? Will you bring the coat or the hat? Is it good to walk from your house to your office or not?
These little things may seem unimportant but they are a big part of your everyday life. You always have to know what the weather will be like for the day because it sets the mood at work. Everybody is a little happy and bright on sunny days. Most employees feel a little laid-back and cozy on rainy days. But beyond that, it also sets the expectations and worries for the day. Most employees can focus at work when it is a fine day but their minds wander back at home and worry about their families when it is rainy, much more when there is a typhoon or hurricane.
This is why desktop weather alerts are important in every person's work life, and you, as the employer, should recognize this. Your employees care about the weather and it is your office's responsibility to take care of their welfare while they are at work. The company should be responsible in making sure all the employees will not be harmed should there be emergency situations related to weather.
Desktop weather alerts are updates on the weather sent through a desktop notification system. This system allows a central administrator to send blow-by-blow updates on the weather based on the national weather bulletin to guide employees as they go about in the day. Desktop weather alerts are particularly crucial when there are thunderstorms, hurricanes, tsunamis or dust storms set to happen for the week.
