Prospect’s members’ survey 2026 gathered 5,821 responses from across the union’s sectors. Below we highlight some of the significant trends and findings, which you can dive into more in our members’ briefing.
Workers are experiencing a financial squeeze, with more than half of respondents reporting being worse off financially than a year ago. Half of respondents are most concerned about the cost of living.
Respondents are also feeling less secure at work, rising markedly from 26% in 2024 to 50% in 2026.
Rising insecurity and increased workloads (almost a third have seen a significant increase in their workload in the last 12 months) has fed a deterioration in wellbeing. There are widespread mental health concerns across all sectors, with half of respondents saying they are struggling with their mental wellbeing and 61% feeling stressed at work.
The survey results highlight engrained inequalities in workplace experiences. There are similar figures reported in terms of organisational restructuring and redundancies in members’ workplaces, but respondents voiced distinctly different experiences: 56.2% of BAME respondents say they feel less secure at work than 12 months ago, compared with 48.8% of White respondents. This increases to 65.4% of Black respondents.
And women are far more likely to report experiencing stress at work in the past 12 months, being excluded from meetings/opportunities, and microaggressions at work.
