Increasing Employment Opportunities and Improving Workplace Health
No full textEvidence Review 5 - Increasing employment opportunities and improving workplace health
Briefing 5a - Workplace interventions to improve health and wellbeing
Briefing 5b - Working with local employers to promote good quality work
Briefing 5c - Increasing employment opportunities and retention for people with a long-term health condition or disability
Briefing 5d - Increasing employment opportunities and retention for older people
This set of documents, commissioned by Public Health England, and written by the UCL Institute of Health Equity, address the role of employment opportunities and good quality work in improving health.
These papers provide a summary of evidence on the effects of unemployment and poor working conditions on health and the unequal distribution of these effects. They then outlines the potential actions that can be taken in local areas around four specific topics:
- Workplace interventions to improve health and well-being- Working with local employers to encourage, incentivise and enforce good quality work- Interventions to increase employment opportunities and retention for people with a long-term health condition or disability- Interventions to increase employment opportunities and retention for older people
The full evidence review and four shorter summary briefings are available to download above.
This document is part of a series. An overview document which provides an introduction to this and other documents in the series, and links to the other topic areas, is available on the ‘Local Action on health inequalities’ project page. A video of Michael Marmot introducing the work is also available on our videos page
Cherry Orchard Community Garden
No full textCommunity garden project and allotments aims to increase community involvement, participation and activity in the locality. We have a number of family groups (parents and children) working together. It is a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people from the area, get out of the house a few hours a week and be part of a really nice community group.
We see our garden somewhat like a Co-op. Everyone is welcome to join us, we meet up at least three times a week and do the jobs around the garden together – mainly around vegetables and some fruit trees but we are interested in flowers and other things as well.
We have a garden sale every Thursday between 12pm-2pm. We sell all organic produce grown in the garden and make our own jams to sell weekly also.
At the end of the season we all share the crops, vegetables and fruits if there is any left after the sale on Thursday.
