Canadian organizations had at least one employee take bereavement leave in a single year. 

of Canadian adults in one population-based study were actively grieving at the time they were surveyed.

said being asked how they could be supported was helpful.

Returning to work doesn't mean returning to normal. Grief can affect concentration, productivity, communication and the ability to safely perform work. Canadian research has found that workplace accommodation can help grieving employees regain their work abilities. 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORKPLACE

Grief can affect a workplace in more than one way — through employees who are grieving and through the staff who regularly support grieving clients, customers, families and executors.

WHEN YOU OWN EMPLOYEES ARE GRIEVING

WHEN YOUR TEAM SERVES GRIEVING PEOPLE

Employees may return to work before they are functioning at their usual capacity.

A greiving employee may be back at work while still struggling with focus, energy and decision-making.

Managers are often expected to respond without training.

The way a workplace responds can affect trust, morale and retention.

Grieving clients and executors are often overwhelmed and repeating difficult information.

Stress, grief and paperwork can make even processes feel confusing.

Your stay may want to help but not know what to say.

Clear, compassionate communication can reduce stress, build trust and create a better experience for everyone. 

I partner with employers and organizations of all sizes across a variety of industries.

This includes workplaces such as construction, manufacturing, municipal, healthcare, education and more, as well as organizations that regularly interact with grieving people such as banks, insurance, financial services, law firms, funeral service providers, and other client-facing organizations. 

Whether you need support for your people, your leaders, or the people you serve, I'll meet you where you are.
