Sept. 9 Webcast - Cancer in the Workplace: How Employers Can Help

On Wednesday, September 9 from 1-2 p.m. Eastern, NBCH is hosting a webcast for employers and coalitions addressing cancer in the workplace.

Two presenters will share real experience from worksites identifying evidence-based strategies to improve the benefits and resources for employees living with cancer.

Over the last year Pfizer, in partnership with Cancer and Careers, has worked with a steering committee of experts to explore the topic of breast cancer and the workplace as part of the Breast Cancer: A Story Half Told program. The organizations recently commissioned a national survey examining the perspectives of working women with breast cancer, health care professionals and employers. This surfaced a number of important findings about how women living with breast cancer feel about working while undergoing treatment, and how employers can better support these women through improved communication.

As the challenges associated with working following a cancer diagnosis are not unique to breast cancer, Pfizer has also collaborated with several organizations to develop an additional resource, Workplace Transitions, This is a free program that provides information and tools to help support communication between employers and employees to ensure a healthy and productive workplace.
