Its an established Business Continuity Practice in most places of work to operate a central BCP SMS system to warn or inform employees when the office is either unsafe to work in, system outage that requires site relocation etc.
I've seen one business want to utilise a bulk SMS service to send updates to their employees that are currently on furlough / Home Working prompting them to read important briefs, communicate change in shift patterns or redeployment opportunities.
I'm not sure that they would be able to rely on either Consent or Contract to send those types of messages (as opposed to BCP messages), and I dont think it would pass the LIA test giving that they could still contact employees via other means - seems like a nice to have rather than necessary.
Has anyone else come across this?
