Coworkers matter too

When someone is affected by cancer, coworkers often want to help — but they are afraid of saying the wrong thing.

So they go quiet.

Silence can feel like abandonment.

Coworkers do not need perfect words.

They need simple awareness:
respect privacy
stay consistent
do not disappear
listen more than you speak

That’s why employee awareness matters too, not just manager training.
