ABI Director of Policy, Health and Protection & Long-Term Savings, Dr Yvonne Braun OBE, responds to the final report from Sir Charlie Mayfield's 'Keep Britain Working' Review:
"Sir Charlie Mayfield’s report lays out a compelling and timely vision for a healthier, more productive workforce to power UK growth. The report rightly highlights how health and protection insurers are already supporting workplace health through prevention, early intervention, case management, and vocational rehabilitation. We were pleased to contribute to the report through our work with Sir Charlie and his team and look forward to further supporting the progress towards a healthier UK workforce, including through our involvement as a vanguard employer."

Emma Phillips, ABI Head of Human Resources, said:
“As strong advocates for the role of employers and health and protection insurers in supporting the NHS, tackling economic inactivity and driving a healthy, thriving workforce, we’re proud to sign up to be a vanguard employer. We’re committed to building on the foundations we already have in place, fostering a supportive working environment through clear signposting, inclusive policies, and proactive wellbeing initiatives. We look forward to working closely with the Workplace Health Intelligence Unit, embracing the healthy working lifecycle, and helping to build momentum across the sector.”
