Make It Your Business: AddressingCancer Issues In The Workplace

WITH UPDATES ON THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CANCER CONTROL

BACK OF BACK COVER(intentionally left blank)

Trena Mitchell, MA, CNP

Together, We Can Overcome!We thank you for your patience and endurance as together we examine cancer control under a new lens. A lens that none of us would have imagined or predicted—a global pandemic.

Today, we will learn more about how COVID-19 has affected cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship.

While we will focus on work place issues, we felt it pertinent to infuse important updates on how COVID-19 has affected cancer and tobacco control.

This year, we are excited to partner with the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Minority Sub-Recipient Grant Office for the 17th Annual Clearing the Air in Communities of Color Conference. Themed; “Make It Your Business: The Real Cost of Tobacco Use,” the Annual Clearing the Air in Communities of Color Conference will be a full day of dynamic tobacco control training.

Cancer in the workplace is inevitable. A cancer diagnosis can cause a major life change for anyone; it can also put businesses at risk. An increase in cancer trends will continue to affect workforces all over the world as populations age and access to screenings and treatment are easier to attain.

A cancer in the workplace Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) report sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb, mentioned a need to improve its policies towards employees with cancer. Survey responses unearthed the need to provide training to managers that will prepare them for dealing with direct reports of serious illnesses. Furthermore, 33.8% of respondents said there is room for better information on their company’s guidelines and policies for serious illnesses such as cancer.

Increasingly, companies are making it their business to develop wellness programs for serving both the worker and the bottom line. Cancer is not just a public health issue.

We lean on many non-traditional partners to reduce the burden of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in two men and one in three women in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer. Human Resource professionals are a crucial point of contact for employees diagnosed with cancer because of their expertise in a variety of polices and benefits.

Our goal today is to ensure human resource departments are proactive in helping employees survive cancer in the workplace while demonstrating empathy and responsiveness. Our hope is that you will utilize today’s information to create or strengthen cancer workplace policies and worksite wellness programs to prevent and survive cancer.

As the only state organization solely focused on organizing partners to implement the Arkansas Cancer Plan, ACC staff, members and volunteers work tirelessly each day to help reduce Arkansas’ overall cancer burden. Our members are the foundation of ACC’s success. Coalition membership is comprised of both committed individuals and professionals from ACC partner organizations.

Session Descriptions

THE UNIVERSAL CHALLENGE OF CANCER: WHY WE SHOULD ALL CARE Understanding, Preventing and Managing CancerAudience Type: Employers, Healthcare, Public Health, Survivors

Most people know someone recently diagnosed or surviving the disease. This session will describe cancer in Arkansas: the most common types of cancers; who is affected, and the numbers. We will provide an overview of the cancer treatment process, all the way from detection, diagnosis, treatment, palliative care, end-of-life care and caring for the bereaved family. Employers will be armed with information, so that they can work to best support their employees by providing access to cancer prevention, screening, treatment and support services. By ensuring the best possible health insurance coverage and additional policies and procedures, employers can better manage the toll of cancer on employees and organizations. WHEN AN EMPLOYEE IS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCERAn employee is diagnosed with cancer. Now what?Audience Type: Employers, Healthcare, Public Health, Survivors

Building on the session above, this session will examine cancer-related work issues such as effective communication, managing workloads, addressing workplace challenges, discrimination, returning to work after treatment, how to create a supportive work environment, and many others.

PREVENTIONAn Update on Early Onset Cancers Addressing Breast Colorectal and Skin CancersAudience Type: Healthcare, Public Health, Survivors

Current data shows that some cancers continue to rise in individuals younger than 50. This session will review the most common early onset cancers and how Arkansas can best address them. Policies and prevention strategies will be described in detail.

ADRESSING ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE USE AT WORK Audience Type: Employers, Healthcare, Public Health, Survivors

This session will provide an update on the rapidly changing environment of electronic and tobacco use. Smoking has been banned from most workplaces for a long time, but vaping presents new challenges for some Arkansas employers. This session will provide recommendations for employers and will address how they can consider state and local laws, company culture, health risks and accommodations when developing their e-cigarette policies. Updates on the latest tobacco and e-cigarette use rates, harms and policies will be provided.

Volunteer drivers are needed for the Road To Recovery program.

I VOLUNTEER TO DRIVE, BUT I’M THE ONE WHO GETS THE PICK-ME-UP.

©2018, American Cancer Society, Inc. No. 012853. Models used for illustrative purposes only.

To volunteer in your community or for more information, visit the American Cancer Society website at cancer.org/drive or call us at 1-800-227-2345.

One of the biggest roadblocks to cancer treatment can be lack of transportation. That’s why the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides patients in need with free rides to treatment.

Our volunteers have provided hundreds of thousands of rides for patients, but the need for drivers continues to accelerate. While we have some requirements for drivers, the biggest bump in the road is a willingness to help.

Volunteer now, and help give patients a much-needed ride. You might be surprised by the pick-me-up you get in return.

Law enforcement wants your help to save lives. Drug overdose victims cannot save themselves. You can help save a life by calling 911 if you are with someone who is overdosing. Give the address and description of where you are with the overdosing victim.

You will not be arrested for possession if you call 911 to help someone who is overdosing. Arkansas' Joshua Ashley-Pauley "Good Samaritan" law protects you!
