Based on 100,000+ workplace health checks across the UK, this report shows where preventable health risks are emerging, how they differ by age, sex and sector, and why workplace-based prevention is now more important than ever.
Workforce health risk isn’t static – it builds gradually, often before people feel unwell or engage with healthcare. Yet most available data focuses on later-stage intervention, leaving employers in the dark about early risk.
This report looks at how health risks are emerging across ages, roles and sectors. It challenges traditional assumptions, highlights differences by industry and working patterns, and shows why early, accessible prevention matters.
Rather than examining single indicators, the analysis explores how risks cluster over time and what happens when prevention is repeatable, embedded and easy to access. The insights are designed to help employers move from reactive wellbeing activity to smarter, earlier intervention strategies.
