The business world, it seems, is obsessed with the hybrid workplace. As a motivational safety speaker<\/a> who once \u201cworked with his hands,\u201d I see the obsession with the office workplace as perhaps a bit classist.<\/p>\n During the worst of the lockdown, it was the blue-collar worker who kept our country going. In an important set of research findings<\/a> from February 2022, it was found that more than 90-percent of blue-collar workers feel proud of what they accomplished during the pandemic but only 44-percent felt valued. Of their concerns, about 28-percent of workers were concerned about job safety, with 20-percent concerned about long hours, and the same percentage concerned about high-performance demands.<\/p>\n As a keynote speaker on safety, I can make a strong argument that fears over long hours and imposed high-performance demands directly<\/em> affect safety. When these factors are combined the safety fears easily approach 50-percent of weighing on the shoulders of all blue-collar workers.<\/p>\n
