Catch up on our webinar looking at what 'good work' is and what approaches there are to encourage good work in your local economy, held on Thursday 22nd May. This webinar is part of the WorkWell Programme.
Not all work is equal. 'Good work' pays a fair income, includes a reasonable degree of flexibility, provides security and has safe working conditions. Employees and their families can grow and thrive in these conditions.
John Copps, Assistant Director was joined by guests for a panel discussion on this topic:
Michael Wood, Head of Health Economic Partnerships at NHS Confederation
Rosie Fogden, Director of Research and Analysis, Centre for Progressive Policy
Alice Walker, Public Health Unit, Greater London Authority
This webinar is part of the WorkWell Programme, a national programme funded by the DWP and DHSC to support people off work sick or have recently left employment in 15 pilot areas across England. WorkWell aims to help 59,000 people that have health-related conditions to get the support they need to stay in or return to work.
