Employers invitation to complete a Public Health Scotland survey to help address workplace health actions - good population health is good for business

Link to a short survey Here

Scotland is facing significant public health challenges. Life expectancy is declining, and health inequalities are widening. An ageing working population combined with a rise in long-term health conditions is driving rising levels of economic inactivity due to ill health. Work is a key building block of health and employers play a pivotal role. Providing work that is good for health is good business, benefitting individuals, employers, and the wider economy.  A healthy economy depends on a healthy and diverse workforce.

In supporting the Scottish Government, Programme for Government and to learn more about the role of employers in improving health outcomes, Public Health Scotland is undertaking a range of employer engagement activities in the coming months.

They would like your support in this endeavour and invite you to complete a short survey Here to help gain direct feedback on employer capability, opinions and challenges. Please also share this more widely across your networks. The survey is accompanied by a two-page briefing document (attached) to help focus contributions.

The results from the survey will help inform discussions and the development of a Scottish Health and Work Action Plan, which is a formal commitment in the Scottish Population Health Framework published in June 2025.

Public Health Scotland’s engagements with employers will include 1-2-1 engagements, smaller group meetings and workshops. If you or your network would like to be more involved in these sessions, please contact Robert.atkinson@phs.scot
