Mayfield Urges Shift in Workplace Health Approach
The Government will establish a three-year vanguard project with employers and health providers to create a new "healthy work standard" and reduce employee absenteeism.
This project is based on the recommendations of the Keep Britain Working review, led by Sir Charlie Mayfield, which calls for a
"fundamental shift"in approach to workplace health and wellbeing.
The review proposes moving from a model where health at work is largely left to the individual and the NHS, to one where it becomes a shared responsibility between employers, employees, and health services.
- Employers, both large and small, will work with health service providers.
- This will include GPs, primary healthcare services, occupational health providers, EAPs, insurers, and other third parties.
