Supporting employees in the workplace

It’s World Cancer Day on Monday 4th February. This annual event is an opportunity for organisations and people around the world to unite to raise awareness about cancer and make it a global health priority.
Last year, it was estimated that 9.5 million people worldwide would die from cancer in 2018 – that’s around 26,000 cancer deaths a day¹. This number is predicted to grow.

Addressing cancer in the workplace

World Cancer Day is the ideal opportunity for your clients to talk to their employees about the workplace support available to those impacted by cancer.

For HR departments, it is important that this support includes:

• • cancer prevention and education
  • helping to lower the risks
  • early cancer diagnosis
  • focusing on early detection to improve clinical outcomes
  • diagnosis support
  • ensuring faster access to treatment
