Chief Medical Officer (CMON) Report – First Edition
Good work is beneficial for health
Introduction to the report
Elevating wellbeing in a post-pandemic world
In the first report, we want you to help employers to consider the role of protection insurance in terms of:
- How to extend salary replacement (in times of illness or injury) to more people
- Helping employers ensure the good physical, mental, financial and social wellbeing of their entire workforce
- Considering work as part of the recovery journey, helping to shift thinking from the ‘all or nothing’ approach that traditionally prevails in absence management

Future reports coming in 2026
Later this year, we will release editions five and six. Edition five will focus on working with cancer, exploring how employers can better support individuals who are balancing treatment, recovery, and return‑to‑work journeys, while fostering inclusive and compassionate workplace cultures. Edition six will then turn to metabolic wellbeing, examining the growing impact of conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular risk, and highlighting practical strategies organisations can use to promote prevention, early intervention, and long‑term health through workplace wellbeing initiatives.
