Grief

Compassionate leave is typically positioned as the main support an employee needs - but the impact of bereavement does not end upon return. 

When a child dies, hopes and dreams are cruelly cut short, and the grief that follows is all-consuming. What can we do to help?

During Grief Awareness Week, learn how employers can support fathers grieving the loss of a child. Unlike mothers, bereaved fathers often cope through isolation and overwork, increasing risks to their mental and physical health. Discover the signs of grief in fathers and workplace support strategies.

In the UK, it is estimated that nearly two-thirds of employers have at least one employee who goes on bereavement leave each year.
