Employers and government to partner on building healthier workplaces

Employers and Government Partner to Build Healthier Workplaces

Over 60 major and numerous small employers are collaborating with the government to address the growing 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 employees in staying at work, 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, costing businesses £85 billion annually 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 set out 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.
