HR cannot carry this alone
May 16, 2026
HR plays a critical role.
But HR cannot carry the entire cancer support burden alone.
Managers need training.
Coworkers need awareness.
Employees need private support.
Caregivers need to feel seen.
And leaders need a better framework for what “good support” actually looks like.
This is not a one-department issue.
It is a culture issue.
