Government to join forces with employers to tackle ill-health

Government Partners with Employers to Combat Ill-Health

The government announced a collaboration with employers to address ill-health and sustain workforce participation across Britain. This initiative responds directly to Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working Review.

Details of the Partnership

Over the course of three years, more than 60 major employers along with numerous small businesses will join forces with the government. Their goal is to tackle health issues that lead to people leaving work prematurely and hinder economic growth.

Goals and Focus

The employer-led vanguards initiative will "reshape how health issues and disabilities are managed in the workplace" and focus on "prevention, early support, and better returns to work," helping more people remain employed.

This collaboration aims to keep more individuals working longer, fostering both personal well-being and national economic growth.

Summary: The government and employers launch a three-year partnership to improve workplace health management, emphasizing early support and inclusion to keep more people employed in the UK.
