Employee Insights into Lone Working
Being a lone worker comes with challenges and responsibilities. While I’m passionate about my job, the remote and isolated nature of my work can sometimes make me feel disconnected and vulnerable, ultimately unsafe at times. That’s why my employer finding out about MyTeamSafe has been a game-changer for us and has empowered me with a sense of security and belonging, making me feel valued as a lone worker.
I’m accustomed to working without direct supervision as a home care worker, the nature of my job often requires me to tackle tasks on my own. While I appreciate that is part of my role, safety is always in the back of mind. What if? “What if something goes wrong? Will anyone know? What if I have car trouble on route to the next client?”
MyTeamSafe is not just a safety tool; it’s a lifeline that connects me to my supervisor and gives me peace of mind, knowing that I have that support has made a world of difference. It’s like having a safety net that I can rely on whenever I need it, but hopefully never will!
What I love about this App is that it’s tailored to fit our needs. There are no unnecessary buttons and options. Whether it’s a simple check-in, a communication note, or if I really require it, a panic alert, I have tools right on my phone that help me feel secure, no matter where I am. I know someone cares about my wellbeing. This empowerment has boosted my confidence and allowed me to focus on my work without constant worry. I feel valued and respected. A reminder that I’m part of a team that values my me …. as much as my contributions.
