Healthy Working Wales

Healthy Working Wales is a Welsh Government programme set-up following Dame Carol Black’s review into the costs of sickness absence on individuals, employers, the healthcare profession, and the wider economy. The Healthy Working Wales programme helps employers, individuals and a range of health professionals to support working-age people in Wales to stay fit and healthy so they can remain in employment, or return to work following a period of ill health.
