Faire œuvre de créativité managériale pour concilier travail et cancer

In France, 400,000 new cases of cancer are detected every year, including 160,000 of which affect people in employment. We know how to treat them better and better, and we have realised that continuing to work is an important factor in recovery. Keeping people with cancer at work is therefore a public health issue. But how do we go about it? To determine the appropriate rhythms and periods of presence for the employee, it is necessary to adapt the organisation of the group to which he or she belongs. It therefore seems essential that these adjustments are collectively adopted, which is impossible when the employee prefers not to reveal his or her illness. Furthermore, in the current healthcare system, the employee is either at work or ill, but there is no framework (legal, financial, etc.) to secure flexible arrangements. So, we need managerial creativity to come up with solutions. The experiments conducted at EDF and NEOMA Business School offer some potential solutions.
