STORIES OF SUPPORT
“I was aware of the support that existed for me from the moment of diagnosis, and that played a large part in getting me through those first days/weeks/months while I tried to process what was happening.”
Claire T., Publicis Groupe Employee
When Claire was diagnosed with cancer, she was relieved to be working for a company that was already part of the Working with Cancer movement. With the support of company leadership and her teammates, Claire was able to take the time she needed while still staying connected to her colleagues. Today, Claire is deeply grateful for her company’s supportive policies, which turned a challenging time into one of connection and encouragement.
