Organisational resources in the successful Return to Work (RTW) of cancer survivors
5:00 PM - 5:20 PMPromotional description
How can workplaces help their employees return to work after cancer treatment? What are the key factors that help or hinder this process?
Researchers at Deakin University recently completed one of the first studies of it's kind to apply principles of organsational psychology to the return to work (RTW) of cancer survivors. Leveraging the Job Demand-Resources (JD-R) model, researchers extended upon the extent literature to identify resources at both the 'organisational' and 'personal' level that facilitate a successful RTW process amongst cancer survivors.
Results from this research are novel, and represent new and exciting ways for clinicians and HR practitioners to address and support cancer survivors in life after cancer.

Learning outcomes
At the conclusion of this event, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the role that organisational resources under the JD-R model play in relation to both cancer survivor RTW, as well as the quality of this RTW.
- Appreciate the nature of the relationships between organisational resources and outcome variables, particularly where these relationships may appear counterintuitive.
- Identify practical targets for intervention within their own and/or client organisations.
- Identify areas for ongoing research and investigation, to support the development and consolidation of this research base.
