Executive Summary

Our latest research reveals a stark picture of the lone worker safety landscape in the UK today. While incidents of abuse, violence and aggression are rising, many workers still feel unsupported, unheard and unsafe.

This has significant consequences not only for their wellbeing, but also for organisations’ productivity, retention and reputation.

47%

of workers told us that feeling unsafe at work has directly affected their mental health

1 in 5

workers reported that feeling unsafe reduced their productivity

68%

of employees said their employer did nothing in response to safety concerns or incidents

These numbers represent a workforce increasingly at risk, both physically and psychologically. But the effects extend beyond personal wellbeing, creating a workforce that disengages, loses confidence, and ultimately becomes less productive.

Encouragingly, the data also shows a clear path forward. The right technology, combined with a strong culture of safety, can restore employee confidence, lower risk, and improve business performance.
