CloseThe government has said it will work with the insurance industry to improve awareness among employers and self-employed people of the benefits protection policies can offer workers’ health and wellbeing.
The government yesterday evening published its response to a consultation titled ‘Health is Everyone's Business', which looked at proposals to reduce ill-health related job loss.
In its consultation response the government welcomed the idea of a ‘consensus statement', an idea developed by industry body Group Risk Development (GRiD) that would aim to improve employer guidance and awareness of the link between good work and good health and promote the use of expert-led support services.
