Supporting Employees Living With Cancer
Cancer affects us all. In the UK alone, 890,000 working-age people are living with cancer, and around 700,000 are balancing work while caring for loved ones with the disease. Yet, half of those diagnosed are hesitant to speak to their employers, and over a third feel isolated at work. As the workforce ages and cancer rates rise, effective communication becomes critical in creating supportive, understanding workplaces.
