Publicis launches 'Screening Time Off' campaign urging cancer screenings

La Fondation Publicis has launched the 'Screening Time Off' initiative, part of the Working with Cancer Pledge, to encourage employees to prioritize cancer screenings, supported by major companies including Accor, AXA, and L'Oreal. With a staggering 70% of Americans reporting they are behind on screenings, Publicis estimates that improved compliance could save up to 100,000 lives annually. The initiative aims to eradicate workplace stigma surrounding cancer and facilitate better access to preventive care by providing resources like multimedia communication assets and outreach templates. Additionally, actress Jenna Fischer is featured in campaign materials, sharing her story to emphasize the importance of early detection. This campaign aligns with World Cancer Day and seeks to enhance awareness of the need for timely screenings among employees. The overall goal is to increase screening rates and ultimately save lives through early detection and intervention.
