The 2022 State of Employee Safety Report

The Future of Work Depends on the safety of Employees

The pandemic disrupted our perceptions of safety in all facets of life, whether at home, traveling, or at work.

During the past two years, there have been lasting shifts in employees’ relationships with their jobs and their employers, as well as how employees think about safety in the workplace.

And while offices reopening and mask mandates lifting point to a return to some pre-pandemic norms, other shifts - such as a renewed focus on workers’ rights, employee loyalty, and safety policies - illustrate a workforce with major concerns that are not fading as the pandemic winds down.

We surveyed 2,000+ U.S. workers to understand how safe they feel at work in 2022. This research carries major implications for employers as they attempt to navigate new risks and a highly competitive labor market.

"79% of employees are more concerned with their safety than ever before"

We found that safety is a top priority for employees, regardless of whether they are in the office or working from home. Employees expect their employers to prioritize their safety, communicate better, and prepare them for a broader range of emergencies. And they are willing to change their jobs to make that happen.

This data shows that the future of work may ultimately depend on the safety of employees. It is up to businesses to ensure that their employees are protected.
