Partnership for Healthier Workplaces
Over 60 major and numerous small employers are collaborating with the government to address the rising number 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 employees in staying at work, and help employers build healthier workplaces.
- The Review estimates that one in five working-age adults is out of work due to health reasons.
- This costs businesses £85 billion annually from sickness, turnover, and lost productivity.
The government will partner with employers to reshape how health issues and disabilities are managed in the workplace.
Major brands, including British Airways, Google, and John Lewis, as well as Mayoral Combined Authorities and SMEs, are among the early adopters of the proposals.
These proposals will help refine workplace health approaches over the next three years to build evidence for effective strategies.
