Innovation in how we delivered the change
To deliver these outcomes, we partnered with 127 commissioners and thousands of employers. As the government looks for new ways to support people’s health and work challenges, we’re at the forefront of innovation, including:
- MSK Trailblazer: A partnership with West London Alliance (WLA), which tackles economic activity linked to physical health by combining work coaching with physiotherapy. 1,286 people started the programme within 8 months, exceeding our target and showing the demand for our services.
- Connect to Work: With WLA, we were the first to launch the Connect to Work programme, a core part of Government’s Get Britain Working initiative. At the time of writing, this has grown to six Connect to Work contracts across the country. We’re the largest provider of Individual Placement Support (IPS) after the NHS and shared our learnings in our IPS impact report.
- Local investment: We flowed nearly £10m into local organisations through 46 voluntary sector partnerships. This strengthens local systems and ensures a community-led approach.
- Youth unemployment: We launched our Not Generation campaign, a call-to-arms for employers, decision makers and the public to back the potential of this generation. And we’re investing £2m in youth pilot projects
- Impact investing in good technology: We invested in Resolution Foundation’s Worker Tech Fund, supporting start-ups using innovation and technology to make work fairer, more secure and inclusive.
Looking to the future
We’re continuing to advocate for change, sharing insights from our innovation projects with the government, businesses and partners to build on what works. Our focus is how to integrate health, work and wellbeing initiatives so that people get the right support faster and taxpayers’ money is maximised.
