Keep Britain Working Review
The Keep Britain Working Review has been published, recommending collaboration between government, employers, and the private sector to improve workplace wellbeing.
A recent report shows that 1 in 5 working-age people in the UK are out of work and not looking for work, lagging behind other European countries.
- 800,000 more people are out of work now than in 2019 due to health problems.
- Another 600,000 are expected to be added by 2030 unless action is taken.
This results in 7% of UK GDP lost per year due to ill-health, impacting individuals, employers, and the state.
