Mayfield Urges "Fundamental Shift" in Approach to Workplace Health
The Government will establish a three-year vanguard project with employers and health providers to create a new "healthy work standard" and reduce employee absenteeism.
This project follows the recommendations made in the Keep Britain Working review, led by Sir Charlie Mayfield, which calls for a
"fundamental shift"in approach to workplace health and wellbeing.
The review proposes moving from a model where health at work is largely left to the individual and the NHS, to one where it becomes
"a shared responsibility between employers, employees and health services".
- Employers, both large and small, will work with health service providers, including GPs and primary healthcare services.
- Occupational health providers, EAPs, insurers, and other third parties will also be involved.
Author's summary: Mayfield urges shift in workplace health approach.
