Report Sets Out Plans to Improve Health and Support Growth
Over 60 major employers across the UK are teaming up with the government to address the growing issue of ill-health.
The initiative is a response to Sir Charlie Mayfield's Keep Britain Working Review, aiming to prevent ill-health, support people in staying at work, and help employers create healthier workplaces.
Britain is sliding into an avoidable crisis. Ill-health has become one of the biggest brakes on growth and opportunity.
Sir Charlie Mayfield emphasized the importance of employers in making a difference by preventing health issues, supporting people when they arise, and helping them return to work.
If we keep Britain working, everyone wins – people, employers, and the state.
The government is taking forward actions from the Review, and Sir Charlie Mayfield looks forward to working with them and employers to keep people in work and build a healthier Britain.
