<p>The DWP and DHSC Joint Work and Health Unit is overseeing progress across 40 recommendations
that were made in <em>Thriving at Work: The Stevenson / Farmer review of mental health
and employers</em> published in October 2017 these range from short term deliverables
to longer term reform. Government is committed to working with the authors of the
review and key stakeholders across the public, private and voluntary sectors to ensure
that employers of all sizes act to implement the core and enhanced standards and help
them, and their employees, realise the benefits of healthy, inclusive workplaces.</p><p>One
of the review’s recommendations was about transparency as a significant opportunity
to encourage cultural change around mental health. We have worked with partners, including
employers, to develop a framework to support organisations to record and voluntarily
report information on disability and mental health in the workplace. This framework
was published on 22<sup>nd</sup> November 2018 and is aimed at large employers with
250 or more employees. To improve information and advice for employers we are working
with Mind and the Royal Foundation to continue developing their Mental Health at Work
website (<a href="https://www.mentalhealthatwork.org.uk" target="_blank">https://www.mentalhealthatwork.org.uk</a>)
which launched on 11<sup>th</sup> September 2018.</p>
