Employers can play a crucial role in supporting employees diagnosed with cancer. Some of the key support measures include:
Flexible Work Options: Offering flexible work schedules or remote work opportunities to accommodate treatment schedules and recovery periods. Health Insurance: Ensuring comprehensive health insurance that covers cancer treatment, medications, and hospital stays. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): Providing access to counseling and mental health services to help employees cope with the emotional strain of a cancer diagnosis. Paid Leave: Allowing paid sick leave or disability leave to ensure employees do not face financial hardship while undergoing treatment.
