“One in five working-age people in the UK are out of work and not looking for it. This challenge has been recognised, but most of the focus has been on getting people, especially young people, back into work.
That’s vital. But it risks missing another problem: one in ten workers are at risk of leaving the workforce altogether, according to our research. For businesses, that means losing skilled people. For the Exchequer, it means £38bn in lost revenue.
This report puts the spotlight on that group. Inside, we look at:
- The scale of poor workplace wellbeing
- What’s driving it
- The impact on workers, businesses and the economy
- The specific risks facing frontline workers
- The gap between the support employers offer and the support that actually helps”
