Work Foundation condemns government's health and work strategy
10/01/06
The Work Foundation (formerly the Industrial Society) in it?s newly published report, Healthy work: Productive workplaces,
argues that the government's healthy workplaces strategy is flawed and carries little prospect of making an impact on the real issues affecting health and productivity, failing to tackle the whole system and not just symptoms in isolation.
The authors cite HSE's work on Stress Management Standards as an example of a case involving 'several different Government agencies and social partners who too often don?t work together', it is suggested that the HSE should work more with social partners to help smaller companies in particular improve their job design and management skills.
