Absolutely agree, modern workspaces are increasingly recognizing that mental health isn’t just a personal matter, but a critical part of workplace culture. Supporting employees with the space and resources they need not only helps prevent burnout, but also builds trust and boosts productivity. It’s encouraging to see more companies shifting toward a people-first approach rather than the old mindset of overworking and overlooking well-being.
When employees feel understood and supported, they show up more engaged, creative, and committed. Thank you @Summer Campagna for sharing.
I couldn't agree more with Rachael insights. But you need a company that invest in the well-being of their employees. A company success can be measured by the happiness of its employee. If they are happy, they will feel motivated to stay and thrive for the company. On of the latest trends that my manager has introduced is Happynomics. With this new methodology, we focus on what factors influence it, and how it can be used to make better policy decisions.
Absolutely! A company that invests in the well-being of its employees is more likely to thrive. Thank you and happy for you @Sara Quarantelli . I'll definitely take some time to read more about Happynomics. Sounds like a powerful approach!
@Racheal Aye, CTS this is such a powerful post, and yes, "if you have a brain, you are at risk..." is very true, and it's a great way to put things in perspective. I feel fortunate that I work with leadership who understands that we're all human, and that everyone is dealing with things outside of work we might not be aware of. It makes it easier to model this behavior myself. A little bit of kindness in tough situations goes a long way!
Thank you @Dana Jelter - AVIXA for the comment. Happy to hear that your work is prioritizing your mental well being.
I'm truly excited and honored to be an Xchange Advocate!
A big thank you to @Lisa Matthews, CTS - AVIXA @Benedict Onodu. CTS.MBCS @Alexis Bou Farhat, CTS-D, CTS-I @Matt Pana and all the amazing advocates—I look forward to connecting and hopefully meeting you all in person one day.
Coming from a region where AV is still a relatively new field, being part of the Xchange community has been invaluable. It keeps me up to date with the latest AV trends and equips me with the knowledge and tools to simplify and promote AV within my community.
Let’s keep learning, connecting, and growing together!
You are correct. Modern Voice Alarm (EVAC) systems are designed with advanced capabilities that allow them to effectively perform both Public Address (PA) and emergency evacuation functions.
EVAC systems can be configured to handle routine announcements, background music, and paging, similar to what traditional PA systems offer, without compromising their core role in emergency communication. This dual functionality is made possible through intelligent priority management and system zoning, which allow the system to switch modes automatically and override non-critical messages in the event of an emergency.
In summary, a properly designed EVAC system not only fulfills all the functions of a traditional PA system but also ensures compliance with life-safety requirements. It offers a scalable, cost-effective, and future-proof solution that enhances both the operational and safety standards of any facility.
Thank you Stephen for reading and your comment is very educative.
I love this @Racheal Aye, CTS ! It's always nice to see different sides of the industry, especially for people who are interested in learning about the different career paths they can take!
Thank you @Dana Jelter - AVIXA indeed AV is so broad and interesting.
Modern buildings rely on PA and VA systems for communication and safety. While PA handles routine announcements, VA ensures clear evacuation guidance during emergencies. Integrated systems now combine both, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
thanks for sharing your thought @Racheal aye !
Thank you @Alexis Bou Farhat, CTS-D, CTS-I
I like the concept of using a single system to offer both purposes, but in my experience the high safety standard of the evacuation systems and sometimes strict design, let very little option to offer a nice and flexible interface for the PA as background music system compared to those that are mainly for bms, but I think that sacrifice is worth it anyway. Besides that, the loudspeaker selection and goals are different for both purposes, typically for evacuation (depending on the model/brand) the frequency range is more vocal focus than a broadband full range for music. Thanks @Racheal Aye for sharing, is imporant to remember this.
Thank you @Antonio Vaca
