The workplace continues to evolve to the new normal of hybrid working. Organisations are faced with unprecedented challenges in ensuring the security and safety of their employees across a dispersed workforce.
As a result of these changes, employee perceptions of security and risk have undergone a significant shift since the pandemic. Our research indicates that safety concerns are deeply ingrained in the workforce, with 6.8 million employees expressing worries about their personal security on a weekly basis. What's concerning is that this isn't limited to specific roles or industries; it's a pervasive issue affecting employees across the board.
Despite the widespread nature of these concerns, many employers have yet to take steps to address them. Many fail to take meaningful action, whether due to a lack of awareness or understanding of the magnitude of the issue. This lack of proactive response not only undermines employee confidence but also exposes organisations to reputational damage and potential litigation.
This whitepaper explores primary research into how employees perceive risk and how it has changed, as well as how companies can respond in a scalable way to mitigate risks and provide an additional level of protection for employees.
