Workplace Grief

When a client or worker dies.

When workers experience personal losses.

When teams and organizations go through change and transition.

When called to respond to a critical loss or traumatic event impacting the organization.

These various situations will impact staff, volunteers, clients, and community members in different ways. Although grief and loss are an inevitable part of life, our varied reactions to death and loss remain topics we rarely consider or discuss with others, particularly colleagues in our workplaces. How and when grief, loss and trauma show up is unpredictable. And that positions workplace supervisors in a perpetual state of multiple loss management. Continually juggling complex, layered, grief spheres that impact staff, volunteers, teams and organizational culture in overlapping ways is daunting. We can work with you and your group to understand, explore, address and help to mitigate its impact on your workplace.
