Societal health: adapting work to aid prevention
In the evolving landscape of workforce health, the role of employers in supporting employee wellbeing is more essential than ever. The rise in chronic conditions, coupled with an ageing population and mounting pressures on public healthcare systems, signals a new era for workplace health strategies.
The World Health Organization predicts that by 2030, one in six adults will be over 60, with many still economically active. This demographic shift isn’t just a future issue; its impact on workforce wellbeing demands attention today.
This final report in a trilogy on societal health, in partnership with Mercer Marsh Benefits, considers how employers need to adapt work to aid prevention, and the strategies and tactics employers can use to mitigate claims, as well as how job design can support employee wellbeing.
