Ned

The hard work of defeating cancer is often seen as an unfavorable career gap. But fighting cancer is one of the toughest jobs an individual will ever have and it deserves a place on the resume. The competencies cancer survivors cultivate through adversity are Super-Abilities, not disabilities or liabilities, as current workplace biases might suggest. Grit, determination, resilience, ownership, dedication, empathy: these are the critical skills companies are looking for in prospective hires. Named for “No Evidence of Disease” (a medical term) and “Not Entirely Dead” (an inside joke for cancer patients), NED is a social enterprise championing cancer survivors in the workplace. 2023 Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Award 2023 D&AD Awards - Future Impact 2023 D&AD Awards - Side Hustle 2023 Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Award 2022 AIGA Year in Design - Winner of Social Design
