Employees with Health Needs

Being in good quality, fair work is good for employee health, however people who have a work-limiting health condition are less likely to be in work than their non-disabled counterparts.

This section contains information on how to support employees with health conditions and impairments, as well as key tips for supporting older workers, and ensuring your organisation has supportive and effective sickness absence management processes.
