Hating your boss is 'not a mental health condition', employees have been warned.

The former chairman of John Lewis has raised concerns amid the 'overmedicalisation' of workplace problems.

It comes as one in five people of working age have a health condition that affects their job and there are 2.8million people inactive due to ill health.

This is up from 2.1million since before the Covid pandemic - though the numbers have been steadily rising over the years.

The ex-high street chief, Sir Charlie Mayfield, has now been appointed by Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, to come up with plans to stop workers leaving their jobs because of poor health.
