The Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FOM) & the Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM) welcome the focus this green paper brings to the future direction of our economy, with its focus on productivity, growth and skills.
We applaud the paper’s focus on ensuring our young people develop the skills required to do the high-paid, high-skilled jobs of the future, but there is not enough focus in the paper on ensuring our current workforce can stay healthy, improve productivity and contribute to the economy.
Employee health and wellbeing contributes to successful business performance and we know that highly effective companies commit to a culture of health.
