The UK launches a £800K training program in Jan 2026 to help 5,000 small business managers support employees with health issues, aiming to reduce long-term sick leave.
The UK's Department for Work and Pensions is launching a free occupational health training program in January 2026, offering support to 5,000 small and medium-sized business managers in England.
The initiative, funded with up to £800,000, aims to help managers identify early signs of illness and support employees with health issues to remain at work.
It targets a growing crisis, with over 2.8 million people on long-term sick leave—among the highest rates in the G7.
While officials say the program will improve retention and reduce absenteeism, experts criticize it as too small in scale to address systemic issues like long NHS waits, financial strain on businesses, and limited access to occupational health services.
