Until recently, a health issue that affects one in two of us rarely featured in workplace wellbeing strategies.
Even now, only a minority of organisations prioritise support for employees living with cancer. And yet with a much-improved survival rate, any large employer will have significant numbers of employees who are either living with the disease or caring for someone who is.
In this webinar from the Bank Workers Charity, we’ll see how cancer is becoming a wellbeing priority in the workplace.
They’ll look at the issues faced by someone living with cancer and consider the kinds of workplace support that can be most helpful to them. You’ll also learn how two banks have prioritised this issue and highlight some of the innovative measures they’ve introduced.

Every demographic has its own critical issues when it comes to healthcare. For men, two things stand out.

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.
We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at how we can create a work culture where it is safe to come forward to talk about abuse and access support. We also look at examples of the support available through the Bank Workers Charity. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
