However, we also find that employers are struggling to respond. More than three in five employers (65%) acknowledge the value of occupational health services, but only 37% provide these services. In addition, less than half of employers (48%) offer flexible working arrangements.

Because the policy focus has been on benefits, there has been little/no recognition that people may have been on contractual sick pay for quite a long time. This is mainly a big company thing, but given 90% plus employers are tiny, the % of employment from medium/large employers is high.
