Supporting Employees Through Cancer: Insights from the Latest UK Report

Описание: Supporting Employees Through Cancer: Insights from the Latest UK Report

In this video, I explore a recent report on the support available for employees undergoing cancer treatment and recovery in the UK. Discover the key findings, best practices for employers, and how to create a compassionate workplace environment. Whether you're an HR professional, a manager, or someone affected by cancer, this information is crucial for fostering a supportive atmosphere. Join me as we discuss the importance of mental health, flexible working arrangements, and the resources that can make a difference.

This is such a serious issue that’s close to my heart, I've experienced first hand the devastation that lack of support can cause, and it's effects on physical and mental health.

I share my own experiences, highlighting both the positive and negative ways companies handle this issue.

It's clear that with one in two people likely to face a cancer diagnosis, organisations need to do better.

Many companies don’t have tailored policies or proper training for managers, which leads to inconsistent support for employees.
We need to advocate for better adjustments and understanding in the workplace so that cancer survivors can successfully reintegrate without feeling like they’re struggling alone.

Here are the highlights:

I’m Gabrielle Mottershead, known as Gabby, wellness coach, author & cancer thriver & I show people how to take back their health & power. Let me tell you my story.
I believe that you can have a successful life and career after cancer without sacrificing your health.

For many years I was a stressed out senior manager at work, wife and mother (my husband and sons got what little was left of my energy) I had no time to get sick, or to look after my own health.

And then I got diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer and my world was turned upside down. I got through treatment, chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, radiotherapy. At the end of all that I expected to feel triumphant, I had 'won the battle' with cancer. Except I felt lower than ever, all the support I had through treatment melted away.

Life when the cancer treatment ended and the Get Well cards came down was a shock.
I was alone. Lost. Afraid. Crippling anxiety. Living in fear of the cancer coming back. Confused about nutrition and how to care for myself. My corporate career that I had worked so hard to build - I felt nothing for it, I reflected a lot on how I had been running on empty for years- and I think it was stress that made me ill.

How could I move forward?
Well, I studied harder than I ever had before, nutritional healing, reiki, coaching and NLP, Feng Shui, breathwork, lots of different healing modalities. I saw so many doctors and therapists. I read so many books and attended countless seminars searching for the answers I needed. When I understood that my biggest challenge was FEAR, I knew I had to start to heal by changing my mindset. I had to rebuild my confidence in myself.

This is what made me create Confidence After Cancer, now I am happy, healthy and fulfilled doing what I love, using my experience to help others.

I help women to have a successful career without sacrificing their health after cancer treatment.
