Webinar: when cancer enters the conversation
Three Vitality experts join Chief Editor Adam Saville to discuss the crucial role we can play in supporting those impacted by a cancer diagnosis, whether at home, work or in personal interactions.
Raising awareness of cancer, and cancer prevention, is an important issue throughout the year for individuals, employees and employers.
In a recent Vitality webinar, Chief Editor Adam Saville was joined by Chief Medical Officer Dr Harpreet Sarna, as well as Head of Internal Comms and Employee Wellbeing, Hannah Willis and Senior Mental Health and Wellbeing Coach, Silvia Cordoba.
The panel discussed the role that workplaces can play in helping to encourage healthier lifestyle choices, the importance of empathetic listening when an employee shares a health concern and creating cultures where employees feel comfortable opening up.
Additionally, the panel highlighted the crucial role of screening in preventing cancer and shared practical ways employers can support to those affected by a diagnosis or treatment – whether it’s offering flexibility or adjusting workloads.
