Bank Workers Charity: Cancer in the workplace
- Date: 19 January 2024
- Time: 11:00 - 12:00
- Location: Online
Event details
1 in 2 of us will get a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. Not surprising then, that employers are building support for employees with cancer into their wellbeing strategies.
We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to explore this subject in more detail. In this webinar we'll look at why providing cancer support is important and the steps some organisations have taken to support those affected by cancer. We'll also look at how line managers and colleagues can be supportive.
This subject may be triggering. So we do suggest you have wellbeing support on hand should you need it.
Webinar overview:
- The importance of cancer support in the workplace
- What steps have employers taken to support staff?
- What the future looks like for cancer in the workplace
- Where to get support
We know that this subject may be challenging for those who have been personally affected, so we do suggest you have wellbeing support on hand should need it.
This event was being hosted by Accord through the Teams platform.

The suicide rate is worryingly high, whilst prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. The persistence of these health issues and others among men is aggravated by their reluctance to visit their GP, to seek help from a counsellor or to ask for support. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
