Employers, leaders and work colleagues
Corine Tiedtke’s research highlights an important call to action for employers:
“the interests of employer and employee in relation to return to work are interrelated; both have responsibility and a role to play, and both are in need of support.”
Layla Branicki in discussing responsible work and cancer, also highlights the importance of:
“partnering for mutual benefit, on-going tailored adjustments, extraordinary, discretionary support exceeding the accommodations [adjustments] employees expect”.
