Managers can make Announcements for Employees at their Locations.  They can also decide to send the Announcement out as an Alert, and which Employees it should be sent to.  

Employees will receive the Alert based on their preferred contact method (text or email or both).  Employees will also see the Announcements for each Location where they work on the Dashboard of the R365 App (Red) as shown below:
