Most U.S. employees are more concerned about workplace safety than ever before, with worries ranging from health hazards to cybersecurity, and they expect employers to ensure their well-being while on the job, according to a new study from AlertMedia.
Based on responses from over 2,000 full-time U.S. workers, the State of Employee Safety Report found 90% of employees believe their organization has a duty of care—a legal and moral obligation—to protect workers from unnecessary risk of harm when working or traveling on their behalf. Furthermore, 82% of workers stated employers’ obligation to keep employees safe extends to those working remotely.
