Think Tank 1 – Rebooting the Nation’s Health through the Workplace: Business And Policy Innovation to Address Workforce Inactivity and Long-Term Sickness
In association with:
In this session, Business for Health joins forces with UK Research and Innovation to explore the levers with most impact for business and policy innovation to address workforce inactivity and long-term sickness, particularly in the +50 population.
The Think Tank will probe the latest evidence and data on what works and identify key areas of consensus that can shape future policy and design of interventions, including the use of technology to reach populations at scale to improve health and work.
The Think Tank is “by invitation only” for up to 40 senior executives – including policymakers, industry leaders, technology pioneers and public sector innovators. The session will be run following Chatham House Rule to encourage openness and insights and recommendations will be published in a post-event report.

Think Tank 2 – Investor spotlight on corporate mental health: are you ready?
In association with:
Successful companies safeguard employee mental health because in doing so they also safeguard their economic success. This reality is now being recognized by a growing number of investors, in large part thanks to the CCLA Corporate Mental Health Benchmark (UK 100 and Global 100+).
Using a set of expertly compiled assessment criteria, the benchmarks evaluate the public disclosures of more than 200 of the world’s largest listed companies, each with more than 10,000 employees. The aim is to evaluate the extent to which employers create the working conditions for people to thrive.
Fully integrating mental health into management systems and reporting cycles takes time. The hope is that being able to assess and compare companies on their approach will help to inform and accelerate progress.
This year’s Think Tank will bring fresh insights from the 2023 Corporate Mental Health Benchmark – Global 100+. It will be an opportunity for C-Suite executives to learn more about the role of investors, to share knowledge around best practice on mental health management and reporting, and to consider whether a more consistent approach by employers could unlock progress at scale.
The Think Tank is "by invitation only" for up to 40 senior executives - employers only. Including CEOs, CFOs, COOs and Chief People Officers.
