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 individuals 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. Notable brands, including British Airways, Google, and John Lewis, as well as Mayoral Combined Authorities and SMEs, are among the early adopters of the proposals outlined in the Keep Britain Working Review.
