Travel bosses have been urged to introduce a cancer policy for employees, as research reveals one in two people will be diagnosed with the condition in their lifetime.
In an October 2024 survey, Working with Cancer found that only 4% of the UK companies surveyed had a cancer policy in place.
A quarter of HR managers also reported a lack of understanding of the Equality Act 2010, which legally protects employees living with cancer as well as those caring for people with the illness.
