Good jobs - good for health and good for business campaign

Business Breakfast Series

It’s now widely recognised that good work is good for health but what's perhaps less well known amongst employers is that good jobs make businesses more productive, efficient and competitive. This series of business breakfasts for senior business people showcased what prominent London employers have done to create healthier workplaces and explored practical ways in which London employers of all sizes can make their jobs healthier.

We’ve used these breakfasts to find out from employers what they see as the challenges and opportunities of this approach, particularly in the current economic climate in order to help us shape the next phase of the campaign.
