Its framing: Britain is treating economic inactivity as a growth opportunity rather than a welfare cost, with a quoted line from the review that “Britain has an under-used economic asset hiding in plain sight: its working-age people.”The piece flagged the 212 billion pound annual cost against an estimated 57 billion pound recovery opportunity and detailed the three-year Vanguard phase, running 2026 to 2029, in which more than 200 employers will test the model.About HRTech&nbsp;HRTech Edition is the publication for senior HR operators, chief human resources officers, and the technology leaders who shape how companies hire, retain, and develop their people.

Healthcare organizations are lucrative targets for cyberattacks because they possess a wealth of information, specifically patient data, with high monetary and intelligence value.“So much private information makes it a rich environment,” Young said.The targeted data include patients’ protected health information, financial information like credit card and bank account numbers, personally identifying information such as Social Security numbers, and intellectual property related to medical research and innovation.
