Mental health and workplace wellbeing
At this roundtable, experts from public health, academia, policy, and business provided key insights on improving workplace mental health, reducing inequalities, and embedding wellbeing into business strategy. A clear message emerged: “People are not a cost — they are an investment.”
The cost of living crisis and financial resilience
Participants discussed how policy changes could help employers support financial resilience, highlighting regulatory barriers like minimum wage compliance that limit workplace savings initiatives. They explored reforms for greater payroll-based savings flexibility and emphasised integrating financial wellbeing into workplace policies. The meeting aligned with the Department for Work and Pensions’ Get Britain Working green paper, reinforcing the role of employers in financial and mental wellbeing.
Ensuring work pays through wellbeing policies
The roundtable focused on aligning workplace wellbeing with economic growth and other government missions and agendas, including the Make Work Pay Plan and the Employment Rights Bill.
