How a cancer diagnosis can impact the world of work
In this episode of the Talking Work & Health podcast, Liam Sloan and Dr Mark Simpson are joined by Dr Mark Harvey to discuss how best to support employees with cancer.
Receiving a diagnosis is a challenge faced by hundreds of thousands of working-age people each year, and the right support from an employer both during and after treatment can be crucial.
We look at the key considerations for employers, including:
- The changing outlook for employees with cancer
- How employers should react to an employee disclosing a cancer diagnosis
- Post-diagnosis pathways for employees with cancer
- The role of occupational health in facilitating workplace adjustments
- Managing the transition back in to work for employees post-cancer
