The Keeping Britain Working Review, led by Sir Charlie Mayfield, responds to the UK’s rising economic inactivity crisis, driven largely by ill health and disability. Over 1 in 5 working-age adults are out of the workforce, substantially because of health problems.
The report calls for a shared responsibility for workplace health between employers, employees and the NHS. We believe that the role of Occupational Health is critical to this. OH Professionals can help employers to address sickness absence by offering independent, expert guidance on how to support employees to stay in work or return to work if they have a health issue.
