Employers and Government Partner to Build Healthier Workplaces
Over 60 major and numerous small employers are collaborating with the government to address the increasing number of people out of work due to ill health.
This joint effort, developed in response to
Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working Review, aims to prevent ill-health, support people in staying employed, and help employers create healthier and more resilient workplaces.
The Review estimates that
one in five working-age adults is out of work due to health reasons, resulting in a £85 billion annual cost to businesses from sickness, turnover, and lost productivity.
In response, the government will partner with employers to reform how health issues and disabilities are managed in the workplace.
- Major brands such as British Airways, Google, and John Lewis
- Mayoral Combined Authorities
- SMEs
are among the early adopters of the proposals outlined in the Keep Britain Working Review, which will help refine workplace health approaches over the next three years to build an evidence base for effective strategies.
