Our focus is on improving the health and wellbeing of people of working
age in Britain.
There are strong links between health and work: A person's health
affects their ability to get a job and keep it. Many people who end up on benefits
have a health condition. Yet there is growing medical evidence that working is usually
good for people's health.
By promoting healthy workplaces and improving the support available for those with
developing health problems, we can help to prevent illness at work and promote swifter
rehabilitation for those out of work through ill-health.
