Early-onset cancers are on the rise among working adults, increasing by 1-2% annually in those under age 50.1 Navigating cancer often impacts more than just the body — it can weigh heavily on people's emotional and financial wellness, too. This underscores a critical opportunity for employers to evaluate and potentially strengthen their practices around supporting employees through diagnosis, treatment, and return-to-work.

Join us as we discuss: 

  • Mental, physical, and financial challenges workers often face during their cancer journeys.

  • Strategies that can empower employees facing cancer — and those providing care for loved ones — to thrive in today’s work environment.

  • Best practices for communicating with workers about their benefits that can help support well-being during cancer treatment, including supplemental health, mental wellness, and disability benefits.
