Help to support workers with long-term health conditions and disabled workers

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have published new principles and guidance to support businesses to create an inclusive approach to workplace health. 

Employers can use the simple principles to create an enabling workplace culture, where disabled workers and workers with long-term health conditions feel valued and thrive.

Their Talking Toolkit can help structure conversations with workers and potential recruits.

HSE has developed the guidance to help support Health is Everybody’s Business.

Working closely with disability charities, unions and business representatives, the principles and guidance aim to help you and your business to support, retain and develop talent.

HSE recognise that workers will benefit from access to quality advice to help them work at their best. WorkRight for everyone reminds workers of their workplace rights as well as how to approach conversations to help the workplace become more open and trusting.

The UK Government has developed an online advice service on GOV.UK giving support with employee health and disability for employers and managers.
