Are employers STILL missing the mark with employees when it comes to #employeewellbeing? A report here from WTW shows this may be the case. Almost half of U.S. employees (48%) are struggling with moderate or major issues in at least two areas of their wellbeing, according to WTW’s 2024 Global Benefits Attitudes Survey (GBAS). Employees with wellbeing issues show lower productivity (higher absence and presenteeism) and report higher rates of burnout and lower levels of engagement. Over half of employees (56%) have above-average levels of stress, while 37% have reported symptoms of anxiety or depression. #employeebenefits #wellbeing https://lnkd.in/eGSRjMJY

Improving Employer Support for Those Working With Cancer: The Bevan Report calls for organisations to develop specific cancer policies, provide training for HR and line managers and review current employee benefits to better support employees with long-term health conditions. HR leaders say many managers are ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of cancer and long-term health issues in the workplace. Working With Cancer's Bevan Report on Improving Employer Support for Those Working With Cancer reveals that 96% of respondents reported that their companies do not have cancer specific policies and only 18% reported collecting data on the number of employees with a cancer diagnosis. #employeewellbeing #employeebenefits https://lnkd.in/eA2zSRj8

Britain's greatest-ever Olympian, who has stunned the nation with the revelation that his own prostate cancer is terminal, recalled being told the shock news of his father's diagnosis in his 2012 autobiography.

Focussing on prevention and modifiable risk factors is so important for us all. From the things we eat to how much alcohol we drink. Early detection is just as important. Did you know? 9 in 10 (90%) men in England diagnosed with prostate cancer aged 15-54 or 55-64 survive their disease for ten years or more, compared with around a quarter (25.6%) of men diagnosed aged 75-99 (2013-2017).
