Insight #1
Nearly three years since the beginning of the pandemic, indoor air quality is a concern that’s here to stay. Infogrid’s research shows that the majority of employees in the US and the UK are still worried about poor air quality. The numbers are unambiguous.
Of those concerned in the US, over a third (36%) said they’re very concerned. Just 8% of respondents said they’re not at all concerned.
Respondents in the UK were less concerned overall, yet over half (53%) still said they’re concerned about the impact of low air quality and 17% are very concerned. Just 15% of UK respondents are not at all concerned about poor air quality.
More specifically, a still significant minority of respondents—29% in the US and 21% in the UK—said they’re worried about catching COVID-19 and other illnesses due to poor ventilation and low quality air.
Interestingly, in both the US and the UK, younger employees are more likely to express concern than older employees.
These findings suggest that significant concerns around air quality and workplace health will persist long into the future.
