Consumer Health & Safety Index

Building Consumer Confidence: A Health & Safety Benchmarking Study

With no playbook for success, most companies are struggling to understand which health and safety policies will have the greatest impact on consumer confidence. Even more challenging is measuring how consistently front-line managers are executing the new health and safety policies and procedures that keep consumers and employees safe.

The stakes for getting this right are huge — with consumer tensions at an all-time high, organizations might only get one chance.

The solution: Ipsos’ Consumer Health & Safety Index determines the health & safety initiatives that build consumer confidence and measures how effectively brands are delivering on these needs – allowing your business to benchmark industry standards and build customer loyalty.

What is the Consumer Health & Safety Index?

The Index is a cross-industry benchmarking study that allows businesses, consumers, and regulators to monitor how effectively brands across key industries are delivering on the health and safety initiatives that build consumer confidence. The study is twofold:

• Consumer Survey Data and Ipsos Bayes Nets (IBN) Driver Analysis: Ipsos will conduct a survey of 2,000 Americans to understand what health and safety attributes make consumers feel safe

• Cross-Industry Health and Safety Compliance Mystery Shopping & Benchmark Data: Ipsos will conduct Mystery Shops to measure brand compliance to the key attributes identified in the Health & Safety Attitudes & Attributes Survey and report on how brands perform

Safe business is good business

Ensuring protections are in place to keep consumers safe, healthy and loyal in the 6-foot economy.
