Changing the Face of Cancer in the Workplace

The statistics speak for themselves: Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, while 1 in 4 will die of the disease*. Cancer and related treatments not only have a significant impact on employees and their families, they also represent growing costs to Group Benefits plans.

In 2017, Sun Life created a Bright paper™ on Changing the Face of Cancer. In this dynamic session, you will learn how to best support your employees living with or caring for a loved one with this illness. Our passionate speakers will share pharmaceutical and disability management best practices for the workplace, so you can change the face of cancer and help your employees get well and return to work.

Let's Talk Cannabis - Be Ready for Impact of the Legalization of Cannabis in Your Workplace

The world is looking at Canada to set the stage for Cannabis regulation, legalization and distribution. The use of Medical Cannabis has been legal in Canada since July 2001. There are likely workers in your business who are already using Medical Cannabis but silent due to the stigma attached to Cannabis. 

With the legalization of Cannabis set for July 2018, there are so many misconceptions swirling around the medical cannabis industry. Canadian employers and employees are demanding accurate information and ongoing education as the medical industry and laws unfold. Learn abut the myths and facts of Cannabis and the impacts on the Workplace.
