Environmental charity Hubbub has revealed that 64 per cent of workers would find a potential employer attractive if they had an air pollution policy in place.
The research, undertaken for the #AirWeShare in partnership with Kings College London, has revealed that while professional drivers and outdoor workers are among the most exposed professions, office employees can also be exposed to high levels of pollution, if they’re commuting into busy urban areas and travelling to and from work meetings.
When asked what their own boss could do to help them reduce their exposure to air pollution, the most popular ideas were: installing air purifiers in the workplace (47 per cent), allowing flexible working or home working (42 per cent) and cash incentives to encourage people to cycle, walk or take public transport to work instead of driving (40 per cent). One in five workers would consider grouping online shopping deliveries with colleagues to avoid lots of polluting vans delivering individual parcels to their office.
Together with the #AirWeShare campaign, Hubbub is calling on all employers to check, update – or even develop from scratch – their policy on air pollution to protect the health and well-being of their staff. As well as reducing exposure, policies should look at how businesses can reduce their own contribution to air pollution across their operations.
