With more people in work while managing one or more long-term conditions than ever before—and around 2.8 million working-age adults currently economically inactive due to long-term sickness—knowing how best to support employees has never been more important. This session will: Explore the latest research on employees’ experiences of living and working with long-term conditions — including stigma, barriers to inclusion, and the types of support people value most. Share evidence-based strategies drawn from 20 years of research, identifying what works for individuals, colleagues, line managers, and organisations. Provide practical actions to help individuals manage their own health at work and enable teams to foster understanding and inclusion. Clarify what good line manager support looks like in practice, highlighting key behaviours and communication approaches. Offer clear recommendations for organisational policies, culture, and systems that create sustainable, supportive workplaces. Help build a compelling business case for investing in workplace support for long-term conditions — aligning wellbeing, inclusion, and productivity goals. Highlight the value of a whole-system (IGLOO) approach, showing how individuals, teams, leaders, organisations and outside support can work together to create lasting change.
