Everbridge, the global leader in critical event management (CEM)
solutions, today announced that Takeda Pharmaceutical Company
Limited (“Takeda”) is the first enterprise to achieve Diamond Tier
status as a Best in Resilience™ certified organization. The
recognition is based on Takeda’s performance among peer companies
in meeting the rigorous formalized standards to employing “best in
class” Critical Event Management (CEM) processes and technologies
to power organizational resilience. Takeda earned Gold Tier status
in 2021 and has since implemented many improvements to optimize
their ability to detect and assess risks, coordinate with crisis
response teams, communicate emergency information to employees, and
account for employee safety.

Takeda is a global, values-based, R&D-driven
biopharmaceutical leader committed to discovering and delivering
life-transforming treatments. Their employees are committed to
improving the quality of life for patients and working with
partners in health care in approximately 80 countries and
regions.
“At Takeda, the security and safety of our employees is our top
priority so they can focus on what they do best – improving patient
lives around the globe,” said Whit Chaiyabhat, Head of Global
Security & Crisis Management at Takeda. “This award recognizes
the many years of progress we’ve undergone to continuously
strengthen our global security and crisis management
capabilities.”
Over 50 organizations have earned certification since the
program was launched in 2021, including numerous Fortune 500
companies and public safety agencies.
Takeda earned the Diamond Tier status after completing a
thorough assessment process. The assessment team evaluated Takeda
across four competency areas:
- Data and Analytics: Availability, maintenance, and
accuracy of threat intelligence and asset data.
- Digital Transformation: Digitization of plans and
processes to support efficient and effective operations.
- Smart Process Automation: Automation to orchestrate more
effective and timely processes.
- Communication and Collaboration: Communicate the right
information, to the right people, in the right ways, and facilitate
coordination and information sharing.
Takeda earned high marks in each competency area. In the past
year, a dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM) from Everbridge
worked with Takeda to advance their capabilities and support areas
for improvement that were identified during their 2021 assessment.
The TAM provides expert consultation and support to ensure
organizations are maximizing the use of their tools and
technologies.
“We applaud Takeda on this prestigious recognition,” said Tracy
Reinhold, Chief Security Officer at Everbridge. “When crises and
critical events occur, organizations need to act fast to keep their
people safe. The difference between top-tier resilience programs
and others is often how quickly they can identify risks and then
take appropriate action.”
Takeda’s assessment revealed significant strengths in how
quickly and effectively they can identify risks to employees, which
was made possible by integrating their CEM platform with their
badging and travel risk management systems. This assures Takeda can
identify travelers and individuals in a building who may be
impacted by a risk event, and quickly communicate with them.
Facilities can also report issues easily, like a power outage,
using the Everbridge App custom buttons, which launches an incident
notification to their Global Security Operations Center (GSOC).
Takeda also employs an open-source intelligence solution, Signal,
for identifying risks to personnel and business operations as well
as scouring social media and the dark web for potential
hazards.
Takeda’s Global Security and Crisis Management program is
leading an initiative to digitize Crisis Management Plans with the
Crisis Management module of their CEM platform. These digitized
plans will ensure they are prepared for all types of events and
allow the Global Crisis Management Committee to manage tasks,
communications, and dashboards more efficiently.
Takeda also excels with their communication and collaboration
capabilities. They have created over 350 communication templates
for various situations, which ensures they can quickly communicate
the right information, to the right people, in the right way.
Alerts are sent using multiple methods and include an “impact
assessment” poll for life-threatening situations, and the GSOC
persists to account for 100% of impacted employees.
To be eligible for certification, organizations must complete a
rigorous assessment. The scope of the assessment and certification
is determined by five pillars: Business Operations, People
Resilience, Digital Operations, Smart Security, and Public Safety.
