“Increasing employment and supporting people into work are key elements of the government's aims for public health, welfare reform and business and the economy. To minimise demands upon a precarious economy, it has become even more important to keep people fit and in work and so reduce the social and economic burdens of sickness - especially long-term sickness - and loss of work and loss of productivity. With an ageing population we also recognise the need to enable people to work longer than has previously been the case. The dual concepts of the health promoting workplace and of early and appropriate intervention to restore fitness are central to maintaining the health and wellbeing of the working age population. I urge colleagues whose responsibilities and actions have a part in influencing workplace health to attend and contribute to this established annual conference.”
