The Keep Britain Working report is being described by industry experts as a pivotal step forward in improving workplace health. The review led by Sir Charlie Mayfield has received broad backing, particularly for its emphasis on practical collaboration between employers and government.
Experts have praised both the comprehensive nature of the recommendations and the government’s commitment to take urgent, coordinated action on this issue. The initiative emphasizes the dual importance of employee well-being and national economic performance.
[The] message is crystal clear: keeping people healthy and in work is the right thing to do and is essential for economic growth. When businesses retain talent and reduce workplace ill-health, everyone wins. That’s why we’re acting now to launch employer-led Vanguards as part of the ‘Plan for Change’, driving economic growth and opportunity across the country.
The report’s recommendations are expected to shape future policies focused on sustainable employment, healthy workplaces, and economic resilience through shared responsibility.
The Mayfield review has spurred united support for actionable, employer-led initiatives to strengthen workforce health and boost economic growth nationwide.
