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.

This project is based on the recommendations of the Keep Britain Working review, led by Sir Charlie Mayfield, which calls for a

"fundamental shift"
in approach to workplace health and wellbeing.

The review proposes 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"
.

Key to this will be employers working with health service providers, including GPs, primary healthcare services, occupational health providers, EAPs, insurers, and other third parties.

Author's summary: Mayfield review proposes new approach to workplace health.
