and
Have you got line managers asking you what on earth they should do about a cancer diagnosis in their team?
Maybe you’re reviewing policies, and want to know what to include about cancer.
Are you worried you’ll say the wrong thing, but no idea what the right thing is?
Perhaps cancer hasn’t touched your workplace yet (though I beg to differ…), and you want to be well prepared.
Hi! 👋
I'm Tara Ferguson, founder of Onward With You, and I'm proud to partner with HR Ninjas on cancer support in the workplace. I joined the HR Ninjas community myself years ago while working in-house in HR, so I know exactly what it's like to need a straight answer at 4pm on a Tuesday when you've no idea what to do!
I bring over 20 years of senior HR experience and my own lived experience of breast cancer to help HR teams and line managers handle it with confidence, not guesswork.
Through the Cancer Confidence Framework, I offer everything from a first awareness session through to full manager training and policy support, plus a standalone HR Masterclass for HR professionals wanting to build their own confidence.

Keep an eye out on the HR Ninjas Facebook group for exclusive offers for members.
And I’m always available here if you’d like to get in contact with any questions or queries.
Why work with me?
I have over 20 years of HR experience at organisations like PepsiCo, Unilever, and Exscientia. I know how businesses run.
But in August 2023, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
That experience changed everything. I realised that what businesses think helps often misses the mark. I was fortunate to have a "best in class" experience with my employer, and now I use that unique combination of lived experience and corporate skills and knowledge to help others get it right.
