Russell Kennedy Associate Molly Lawlor will present on the upcoming LiveWorkCancer webinar, From Compliance to Compassion: The Essentials of a CancerKind® Workplace, on Friday 4 September, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm AEST.
The session will explore how employers can support employees affected by cancer while balancing legal obligations and creating more compassionate workplaces. Molly will join Sue Woodall, CEO and Founder of LiveWorkCancer and Kim Hobbs AM, respective Australian Oncology Social Worker, to provide practical legal insights to help workplace leaders, HR professionals and employers navigate complex workplace situations with confidence.
With one in two Australians expected to be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime, and many receiving that diagnosis while employed, the webinar will address an issue that is increasingly relevant for workplaces across Australia.
