The state of U.K. retail worker safety


Are your retail workers thinking about jumping ship because safety's gone AWOL? The retail landscape in the U.K. is taking a dangerous turn, with safety concerns skyrocketing and worker morale plummeting. Here's why this matters and what you can do about it—right now.

  • Incidents Abound: In the past year alone, 56% of workers faced petty theft, 51% dealt with hostile customers, and 31% encountered organized crime. Even more chilling, 15% were victims or witnesses of physical attacks.
  • Night Shift Nerves: Nearly half of retail workers feel most vulnerable during evening or night shifts, with women feeling the pinch more than men. The skeleton staff during these hours isn't helping.
