About Joffe Emergency Services

We empower schools to confidently prevent and manage emergencies and save lives.

We’ve been working with independent schools across the country since 2007 to offer security, safety, and health services.

We have over 400 responders in over 32 states to serve the entire continental United States (and a little bit of HI)

Maintaining consistent communication

Challenge: Communication is the single most consistent challenge people discuss in debriefs. We saw anecdotally that schools that communicated to staff less frequently saw more staff burnout and more departures.

Lesson: Establish a consistent cadence of communication with each internal stakeholder group, and stick with it. Don’t wait until you feel you have something new to share - consistent updates do much more than just provide information. They build confidence in your school’s approach.
