Grief support for organizations

What we do & why

Grief affects every workplace. 
Also yours.

Our seminars provide practical tools and ideas from leaders who've dealt with grief at work and offer insight into the perspective and experience of grieving employees:
 
  • What they want and most need
  • What helps their return to work and what hinders 
  • What support they were most grateful for 
  • What they wish their leaders had done differently 
 
We address the economic impact of grief in the workplace and provide a wealth of cost-effective and easy to implement initiatives for creating a productive yet compassionate work environment.
