Feeling the pain of the workplace

Work-related deaths, injuries, and illnesses are daily occurrences in workplaces around the world. Over 2.3 million people lose their lives each year due to employment-related accidents or illnesses. According to a study by iHASCO*, there has been a 30% year-on-year increase in people suffering from job-associated stress, depression, or anxiety in the UK.

The risks are clear – beyond harming workplace productivity and morale, neglecting health and safety can result in injuries, long-term illnesses (physical and mental), and, in too many cases, death. Failure to implement an appropriate health and safety policy can also expose companies to negligence claims and legal penalties.

While the benefits of health and safety at work are undeniable, many workers remain at risk, underscoring the urgent need for improvement. Ensure your workplace – whether on-premises or remote – is as free from hazards as possible.

Use Speeki’s platform to enhance employee health within your ESG initiatives, and extend this focus along your supply chain by making safe working conditions a criterion for supplier selection and monitoring compliance.

Pick up on health and safety messages, both subtle and obvious

Organisation-related health and safety messages abound in the market, whether they’re as low-key as mentioning someone using a rice cooker under their desk, or as clear as a report about how managerial harassment is directly correlated to an employee’s visits to a mental health specialist.

While reports are direct, the subtle voices are often obscured by “noise”. Capture the hidden comments with Speeki’s Signals tools – Sentiments, Conversations, Interviews, and Messaging.

Dot the workplace chart where health and safety problems seem most rampant

Workplaces – on-site or remote – are filled with hazards that impact health and safety, but not all are physical. Mental wellbeing is also affected by working environments.

Employ Speeki’s Insights services to help you visualise the current health and safety scene, as well as project probable future scenarios that need to be addressed.

Build a healthier and safer workplace

Intangible threats, as well as physical ones to health and safety, require the implementation of ESG initiatives and best practices to minimise and manage associated risks. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought a massive increase in working from home, with a consequent need to enhance employee consciousness of safety risks beyond the control of their employers.

Use Speeki’s suite of Actions tools – training, audits, gap analysis, ratings, certifications, and programme improvement – to ensure your workplace is as free from health and safety liabilities as possible.
