Partner Ailie Murray from our Employment team, and Senior Counsel Harriet Sayer from our Pensions team together sit down with Barbara Wilson, Founder and Director of Working With Cancer – an organisation comprised of trainers, coaches and policy advisors who are senior professionals from a wide range of industries with experience living with cancer, bringing insight to support others enduring the same.
In the podcast, Ailie and Harriet share their personal experiences of being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer while at work. They discuss the potential obstacles to sharing this type of diagnosis at work and how employers can help to create a supportive environment, with reference to Travers Smith's recently established internal Cancer Support Network, and the Working With Cancer pledge which aims to make workplaces more supportive for those diagnosed with or impacted by cancer.
