A key element of this is action to help keep people (including older workers) with health conditions in work. We are already investing in testing new interventions to support people, including our Health-Led Trials, and the Government is working to ensure employers and key stakeholders across all sectors adopt and implement the core and enhanced mental health standards set out in <em>Thriving at Work: The Stevenson / Farmer review of mental health<\/em>.<\/p><p>To support older people falling out of labour market due to health conditions, the Government has extended the right to request flexible working for all employees with 26 weeks\u2019 continuous service with their employer. Access to flexible working practices, such as flexi-time, compressed hours and remote working, is key to helping older workers stay in the labour market.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>We are also exploring further ways to reduce the number of people who leave work each year for health reasons and will consult on measures to encourage and support all employers to play their part. This consultation will also propose ways to improve access to occupational health.<\/p><p> <\/p><p><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p><p> <\/p><p>In February 2017 Government published an employer-led Strategy <em>Fuller Working Lives: a partnership approach<\/em>, which sets out the importance of Fuller Working Lives for employers and individuals.
