About this booklet

This booklet is about how you can support people affected by cancer in the workplace. It is for managers, HR professionals and employers. This booklet has been produced in partnership with the CIPD.

 

This booklet has information about:

 

- practical actions you can take, including examples of best practice

- your responsibilities as an employer and your employees’ rights

- understanding your employee, whether they have cancer or are caring for someone who does

- how to reduce the impact on your organisation.

 

This booklet also has information about the extra support Macmillan could offer your organisation, including more training, resources and consultancy. This programme is called Macmillan at Work.

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
