Mayfield Urges "Fundamental Shift" in Approach to Workplace Health
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.
A "fundamental shift" in approach to workplace health and wellbeing is needed, 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."
This project is based on the recommendations made in the Keep Britain Working review, led by Sir Charlie Mayfield, which emphasizes the importance of employers working with health service providers, including GPs, primary healthcare services, occupational health providers, and insurers.
Author's summary: Mayfield calls for a shift in workplace health approach.
