Government to Join Forces with Employers
The government has announced a partnership with employers to tackle ill-health and keep Britain working, in response to Sir Charlie Mayfield's Keep Britain Working Review.
This three-year partnership will involve over 60 major and numerous small employers working together to address ill-health that is pushing people out of work and hindering growth.
Employer-Led Vanguards Initiative
The initiative will focus on reshaping how health issues and disabilities are managed in the workplace, with an emphasis on prevention, early support, and better returns to work.
- Prevention of ill-health
- Early support for employees
- Better returns to work after illness or injury
The goal is to help more people stay in employment and boost UK disability inclusion.
