Upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, many patients quickly ask about their ability to continue working through treatment. Work can be vital for the healing process as it offers both a sense of control and connection, and perhaps more importantly, continued alignment with one’s purpose and identity.

In this episode, Gina Jacobson, Program Director, Publicis Groupe, shares her personal story with cancer and how her experience helped inspire the Working with Cancer pledge. Offering guidance and best practices to support employees impacted by cancer, the pledge helps employers design recovery-forward workplaces.
