Take part in our latest readers’ poll on a current topical issue. Last month, Employee Benefits reported that the Department for Work and Pensions launched a taskforce to improve occupational health provision. It will produce a voluntary framework for employers that includes setting out minimum levels of occupational health needed to stop sickness-related job losses, and better support those returning to work after ill-health.
In light of this, do you think the government’s new taskforce to improve occupational health in the workplace will be successful?
