Help your employees during cancer treatment

Click to read the Case Study

Employers in the United States spend $125 billion in direct medical costs and another $139 billion in diminished productivity and lost work time, either for cancer treatment or caring for someone with cancer.

And an overwhelming majority of employees with a cancer diagnosis want to keep working while they’re managing their treatment or caring for a loved one who is in treatment.

So how do you keep these experienced employees present and productive and keep your company running efficiently? The answer:  Work Stride.
