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, resulting in a cost of £85 billion annually for businesses due to sickness, turnover, and lost productivity.
- Major brands such as British Airways, Google, and John Lewis are among the early adopters.
- Mayoral Combined Authorities and SMEs are also participating in the initiative.
The partnership will refine workplace health approaches over the next three years to establish an evidence base for effective strategies.
