About this event
As many as 6.8 million workers are concerned about their personal safety every week.
This doesn’t just apply to lone and vulnerable workers but extends to every part of life, including everyday commuting where 60% of people feel unsafe travelling in unsociable hours.
With these increases in personal safety fears, how is it impacting employee wellbeing and retention and what could employers do to build this into their strategy?
Two recent national surveys have shown that this is a trend that reaches all sectors and is not being given enough focus by employers, who often are either unaware or don’t know how to respond.
This Personnel Today webinar, in association with personal safety technology experts Peoplesafe, looks into these research findings and explores case studies on how employees are affected, and how some organisations are providing support.
It will also cover the brand-new research from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, who will be launching its report as part of National Personal Safety Day.
Personnel Today editor Rob Moss is joined by Naz Dossa, CEO of Peoplesafe, Anil Champaneri, HR consultant at Alcumus, and Saskia Garner, head of policy at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust.
