People and Skills Network (Wales)

More than ever employers can play a key role in their employees’ wellbeing and provide support to employees with serious health conditions.

The objective of this session is to facilitate a discussion around members’ experiences, best practice, and practical steps to enable businesses to strengthen support of the workforce during the pandemic.

We will be joined by Maggie's who offer free Cancer in the Workplace workshops for HR professionals and line managers. They will be sharing support strategies for planning a return to work for employees and their managers who each face different challenges that can have a significant impact on the workplace.

In this session we would like to explore the following questions with members:

• How has your business responded to challenges around chronic illnesses and conditions such as cancer, and how have you supported your employees during diagnosis, treatment and their return to work?
• What has been the single most successful policy that you implemented last year to better support good health and wellbeing of your employees?
• How do you think businesses’ approach to health and wellbeing might develop or change in the future?

You’ll particularly benefit from this event if you are:

• Chief of People
• Head of HR
• HR Director
• Director of People/Talent
• Diversity and Inclusion Lead
