As a manager, your first conversation with an employee about their can feel daunting. You will probably be concerned for their well-being and conscious of the need to balance the employee’s needs and rights with the needs of the workplace.

Here are some suggestions about how to approach this conversation,

1. Preparing for the conversation
If you have notice of the conversation with the employee, spend some time preparing for it.
Learning more about the diagnosis, treatment and side effects will help make the discussion as constructive as possible. Familiarise yourself with your workplace’s relevant policies and legal obligations before the meeting.

2. Communicating well
People communicate in different ways, so you will need to tailor your approach to each employee and their specific situation. Some people will be open about their situation, while others will be more private.
Keep in mind that an employee may be reluctant to discuss details of the cancer for several reasons. For example, the person might:
• Be worried about possible consequences of being open about the diagnosis – that is, losing their job or having their hours cut
• Want to keep personal information private
• Still be making decisions about treatment
• Have particular cultural beliefs about cancer
• Be uncomfortable about the type of cancer they have

Let your employee guide the conversation. Ask what they need from you and the workplace right now.
Reassure them that the conversation can be kept confidential, although you will need to discuss any leave requirements with human resources. Reassure the employee that they cannot be dismissed because of the itself and that you will work with them to make any reasonable adjustments to the workplace so that they can still carry out the essential parts of their job.
