Employers urged to sign health at work pledge
Dame Carol Black, national director for health and work, has urged more employers to sign up to the government’s Health at Work Pledge, according to People Management. The initiative has clocked up 172 signatories since its launch in March.
Employers that sign the pledge agree to publish their sickness absence rates, take proactive measures on diet and smoking, and offer flexible working to staff with chronic illnesses. Signatories also agree to only use occupational health services that meet the new OH standard by 2012/13.
