Government to join forces with employers to tackle ill-health

Government to Collaborate with Employers to Address Ill-Health

The government has announced a partnership with employers aimed at tackling ill-health and supporting workforce retention across Britain. This initiative responds directly to Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working Review.

Three-Year Partnership Plan

Over the next three years, more than 60 major employers, along with numerous small businesses, will collaborate with the government to confront health issues that cause people to leave the workforce and hinder economic growth.

Employer-Led Vanguards Initiative

This employer-led initiative will transform the management of health problems and disabilities in the workplace by emphasizing prevention, early support, and smoother reintegration of employees.

The partnership aims to help more people remain employed and improve disability inclusion in the UK workforce.

By reshaping workplace health management, the initiative intends to keep more people working and support economic growth.

Summary

This government-employer collaboration seeks to reduce work absences caused by ill-health through prevention and support, promoting sustained employment and greater inclusion of disabled workers.
