Headcount Management

Account for every employee — at every location — the moment an emergency strikes.

Know Where Every Employee Is During a Crisis

Conducting a staff headcount is a crucial component of any disaster recovery exercise — especially during an evacuation. With the SIB platform, your organization can carry out evacuation procedures with a high degree of precision. Headcounts can be initiated while declaring a disaster, while raising an alert, or as a standalone drill at any time.

Employees today are constantly in transit — shuttling between offices, working from home, or travelling to customer sites. Staying connected with your entire workforce is a mission-critical priority for any organization committed to the safety of its people.

  • Real-time employee status updates on the platform
  • Single and multi-team, department, and location drills
  • Triggered during disaster declaration or alert
  • Tracks located, missing, injured, and travelling staff
Employee Status Categories
Located & Safe

Employee has responded and confirmed their safety and location

Missing / Unresponsive

No response received — requires immediate follow-up by the response team

Injured / Travelling

Employee flagged as needing attention or currently in transit between locations

How the Headcount Module Works

A simple, fast, and reliable process for accounting for every person in your organization during any emergency.

Multi-Channel Notification

Employees are notified that a headcount exercise is being conducted through multiple modes of communication. They are immediately requested to respond to the initiator by marking their attendance — ensuring maximum response rates even in chaotic conditions.

  • SMS, email & in-app notifications
  • Simultaneous multi-channel reach
  • Works for drills and live emergencies

Real-Time Status Updates

Employees update their status directly on the SIB platform in real time. The headcount dashboard reflects changes instantly — giving response coordinators a live picture of who is accounted for and who still needs to be reached.

  • Live status dashboard
  • Instant attendance marking
  • No manual tallying required

Flexible Scope

Conduct headcounts for a single team, multiple departments, entire divisions, or a whole location — all from the same interface. Scale the drill to match the scope of the incident, from a localized alert to a full-site evacuation.

  • Team, department, or division
  • Single or multiple locations
  • Entire organization if needed

Integrated Triggering

Headcounts can be initiated as part of a disaster declaration, triggered alongside an alert, or run as a standalone connectivity check at any time — giving your team the flexibility to verify employee welfare without waiting for a crisis.

  • Triggered during declarations
  • Linked to alert workflows
  • Standalone drill capability

Critical Questions the Headcount Module Answers

In any emergency, knowing the precise status of every employee is non-negotiable. SIB gives you that visibility immediately.

Location Headcount

What is the total headcount at each of your locations at any given point in time — and how many are at a location where an incident has been detected?

Violence & Civil Unrest

How will you respond to an outbreak of violence at a location? The headcount module helps you take immediate stock of every person present and identify who needs assistance.

Missing Employees

Identify which employees have not yet responded to the headcount — enabling response teams to prioritize outreach to individuals who may be in danger or unable to communicate.

Injured Personnel

Flag employees who are injured and require immediate medical attention — ensuring the right support is dispatched without delay during the critical first minutes of a crisis.

Travelling Staff

Locate field staff and employees travelling between sites, domestically or internationally — so no team member is unaccounted for regardless of where they are in the world.

Remote & Work-From-Home

Confirm the welfare of employees working remotely — verifying connectivity and safety for staff who are not at any physical company location during the incident.
