Envoy helps workplaces reopen safely with new free product, Envoy Protect

Workplace tech company secures $30M in new financing and lands major exec hire as it doubles down on efforts to make workplaces safe for return 

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 2020 - The coronavirus pandemic has swiftly changed how we live and work and will leave lasting changes even after it has passed. This new reality means that even as communities reopen, we can’t revert to the way things were before; workplaces will need to define a new normal. Following hundreds of conversations with customers worldwide, workplace platform provider Envoy has announced a new product, Envoy Protect, to help companies protect the health and safety of employees as they reopen their facilities - from offices to factories to construction sites to schools. The company has also secured $30M in new financing to provide technology that will shape the new workplace and tapped Dropbox's Philip Lacor as its first Chief Revenue Officer.

New product beta: Today, Envoy opens the sign-up for a beta of its new suite of tools, Envoy Protect. Built on top of Envoy’s workplace platform, and designed to integrate with the other products in the workplace, Envoy Protect will be available for free to anyone using Envoy Visitors, including those on Envoy’s free tier. It includes:

Employee registration: Manage and approve which employees can come to the office and on which days.
Wellness checks: Invite and survey employees and visitors before they arrive at the workplace. Protect your workforce by only allowing healthy people on-site.
Touchless sign-in: Now employees and visitors can sign-in via Envoy Mobile without interacting with the iPad up front.
