Navigating Grief and Bereavement in the Workplace: How Employers Can Support Employees Through Loss | Tuesday 16 June | 10:00 - 10:45 AM | Teams

Bringing together expert insight and practical employer perspectives, this session will highlight examples of workplace policies, supports, and good practice approaches to help organisations respond to grief in a meaningful and human-centred way.

Over 45 minutes, we will explore how organisations can move beyond basic bereavement policies towards creating truly compassionate and inclusive workplace cultures that acknowledge and support grief. The discussion will combine knowledge of grief, lived workplace experiences, and examples of good practice to offer actionable learning for employers, HR teams, and leaders.

What attendees will learn:

· The impact of grief on mental health and work performance

· Supporting employees and managers

· Psychological safety

· Signposting support

Our Signatory spotlight organisation will share insights and examples from their own organisation:

· Key elements of effective bereavement support policies and practices

· Supporting employees and managers through grief

· Creating psychologically safe workplace cultures

· Lessons learned or approaches that have worked well within your organisation
