The global pandemic and the national reckoning for racial justice have shined a new light on health equity, bringing terms like “social determinants of health” (SDOH) and “health disparities” more prominently into the cultural conversation. In response to this wider societal problem, addressing social inequities is becoming a top strategic priority for benefit managers. Cancer—one of the most-feared illnesses(1)—is an area where change is both possible and impactful, especially as it impacts a huge swath of the workforce(2). In this eBook, HR leaders will learn that while employers won’t be able to unravel or erase all of the SDOH negatively impacting their workforce, they can promote greater health and equity by adjusting the levers they control, with a focus on cancer prevention, detection and next-generation screening solutions, to help all employees live their longest and healthiest lives possible.
