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.
