Personal Safety App

Personal protection in your pocket

Personal Safety App

A personal safety app, or SOS app, is a mobile application that raises an alarm when the user feels in danger.

The continued increase in downloading free versions clearly demonstrates demand for this service. However, free personal safety apps rely on friends and family to respond to an alarm and do not have the capabilities to contact the emergency services.

Health and wellbeing support provided by employers is a greater focus than it has ever been for both employees and potential recruits. Rolling out a personal safety app offers additional cover to more standardised health benefits.

Recruitment & Retention
Safety concerns are having an impact on staff turnover with 22% of workers saying that personal safety played a part in them leaving a role.Offering a personal safety app as part of the job package could be an untapped retention tool to keep hold of existing workers, as well as being a key differentiator when attracting new talent in a crowded and competitive market.Wellbeing

Most employers will ask staff for feedback; leading employers and HR team will act upon it.Looking at market trends, there is a clear demand for personal safety apps. Investing in a professional solution demonstrates a commitment to protecting the safety of every employee as well as living and breathing your employer care values which are an increasingly decisive factor for candidates.
