Employers and Government Partner to Build Healthier Workplaces
More than 60 major and many small employers are partnering with the government to tackle the growing numbers of people out of work due to ill health.
The joint effort, developed in response to Sir Charlie Mayfield's Keep Britain Working Review, aims to prevent ill-health, support people to stay in work, and help employers build healthier, more resilient workplaces.
The Review estimates that one in five working age adults is out of work due to health reasons, which costs businesses £85 billion a year from sickness, turnover, and lost productivity.
Major brands, such as British Airways, Google, and John Lewis, as well as Mayoral Combined Authorities and SMEs, are among the early adopters of the proposals.
The government will partner with employers to reshape how health issues and disabilities are managed in the workplace over the next three years.
