Host: Mervyn Dinnen
Guest: Barbara Wilson, Founder and Director of Working with Cancer
In this podcast interview Mervyn talks with Barbara Wilson - Founder of the social enterprise 'Working With Cancer' - about their latest research on how organisations can help support those in their workforce who have had, or are having, treatment for cancer.
During the conversation they discuss :
- Why do so few organisations seem to have a cancer policy in place
- Poor level of coaching offered to managers and directors to have necessary sensitive conversations with employees having cancer treatment (78% have not provided training)
- Why work is so important to cancer patients undergoing treatment
- What workplace adjustments are offered, and which ones are still needed
- The need for HR to have clear policies and practices that are easily accessible and understood by employees
- Reintegrating employees after their cancer treatment
- Advice for HR on having open conversations and the need to be understanding and supportive
