Employers Face £85bn in Costs Linked to Ill-Health 'Crisis'
A report by Keep Britain Working warns that without a 'fundamental shift' from businesses, 600,000 more people could leave the workforce due to sickness by 2030.
Unless employers lead a "fundamental shift" in the way ill health is approached at work, a further 600,000 people could leave the workforce by the end of the decade.
The report, 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. It argues that sickness must become a shared responsibility between employers, employees, and health services, with businesses facing an estimated £85bn a year in costs related to illness.
