It is estimated that there is a £5.3bn loss in productivity due to cancer. We are encouraged by the increasing number of organisations we work with, that understand that by providing training to employees you can create a supportive culture for everyone to help tackle this growing challenge. Having a great Employee Assistance Program is just one small part of the solution, and doesn’t help employees develop the skills and confidence to support those impacted in the workplace. Do get in touch if you’d like to learn more about the simple steps you and your company can take to make a real positive impact.
“I would encourage employers to think about offering Cancer Support UK's workplace cancer support training to managers, because with one in two people predicted to get cancer in their lifetime and, as an ageing workforce, I think it’s vital employers put the necessary support in place now and do it right. Nobody should be faced with cancer and feel that they have to worry about work, too. As their employer, you play a key role in supporting that person’s recovery. I’m really grateful that this training exists and I feel better equipped now to help people effectively.” Catherine Oinenon, Workplace Cancer Support Ambassador.
