Review of the UK's significant health-related labour market challenges by Sir Charlies Mayfield show how we can build a healthier, more inclusive working life for millions. Key message: keeping Britain working is good for people, good for employers, and good for the country.
This morning's reading: "Employers join forces with government to tackle ill-health and keep Britain working" from Department of Health and Social Care www.gov.uk/government/n...
Employers join forces with government to tackle ill-health and keep Britain working
More than 60 major and many small employers are joining forces with government to tackle the rising tide of ill-health that is pushing people out of work and holding back growth.

Compared to a deposit, stamp duty is often a small cost – but axing it would cost the government billions a year.
