Grief is a deeply personal journey, yet many employees feel unsupported when facing loss in the workplace. In the UK, nearly a quarter of working-age adults - around 7.9 million employees - have experienced bereavement in the past year alone. Without the right support, grief can contribute to increased absenteeism, lower productivity, burnout, and even higher employee turnover. However, businesses that take a compassionate approach often see greater employee engagement, resilience, and loyalty. Discover how grief can impact the workplace and, more importantly, the practical steps you can take to create a supportive and understanding work environment.
