Employers Face £85bn in Costs Linked to Ill-Health 'Crisis'
A report by Keep Britain Working warns that 600,000 more people could leave the workforce due to sickness by 2030 without a 'fundamental shift' from businesses.
The review, led by former John Lewis boss Sir Charlie Mayfield, critiques the current model where individuals and the NHS tackle the 'rising tide of ill health' in UK workplaces.
Sickness must become a shared responsibility between employers, employees and health services.
Employers face an estimated £85bn a year in costs related to illness, highlighting the need for a change in approach.
