Is your organisation supporting the health and wellbeing of its staff?

The UK workplace wellbeing landscape is at a critical turning point. Despite increasing attention, nearly one in four workers say their job negatively impacts their health, and 42% report mental health conditions, with musculoskeletal problems, anxiety and sleep issues among the most common challenges. Meanwhile, sector-wide data show 29.6 million working days were lost to work-related ill health in 2023/24, with stress, anxiety and depression accounting for more than half of these. The Government’s Keep Britain Working Review and broader prevention-focused policy ambitions underscore the need for organisations to embed wellbeing into core practice. 

Yet employers still face significant challenges. Many organisations struggle to move beyond surface-level incentives to address root causes of stress, burnout and poor managerial support. These gaps threaten productivity, retention and organisational resilience. 

The Institute of Government & Public Policy has earned a reputation for delivering insightful and thought-provoking health and wellbeing conferences. The Annual Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace Conference 2027 will provide attendees with valuable insights into developing sustainable and impactful wellbeing strategies. This event is designed for professionals across healthcare, local government, education, and community sectors, fostering cross-sector collaboration to enhance employees' health and wellbeing.
