UNISON Response to Keep Britain Working Review
Commenting on the publication of Sir Charlie Mayfield's Keep Britain Working review, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea stated that protecting staff wellbeing is crucial.
It's in all our interests that workers keep well and are supported back to their jobs should they fall ill or get injured. Prevention is key to stopping staff being signed off in the first place.
Key priorities for employers include providing suitable help early on, keeping people with disabilities in jobs, and introducing robust standards for workplace adjustments.
- Managers should provide the right help early on to prevent staff from being signed off.
- Raising statutory sick pay would prevent staff from going to work when poorly, reducing health risks for themselves and colleagues.
Author's summary: Employers must prioritize staff wellbeing.
