Many employers are aware of the challenges caused by long-term sickness absence. However, the number of people unable to work is increasing. Employers may be less familiar with the steps they can take to help people stay in work. 

Keep Britain Working is a government-backed national initiative that aims to support people to stay, thrive, and progress in work. 

Organisations thrive by creating healthy, inclusive environments that support people throughout their working lives. 

Join Acas and guest speakers to: 

• explore how health at work is changing 
• understand the role employers can play in supporting people to stay in work 
• discuss practical approaches to health, inclusion and retention
