About this talk:
Grief is an unpredictable and unavoidable part of life. It can be felt due to various reasons like the loss of a loved one, moving homes, switching jobs, or any significant change that disrupts our sense of stability. In today's fast-paced work environment, it's essential to understand how to support colleagues and ourselves during times of grief by acknowledging the pain and offering support, which can lead to a compassionate and empathetic work culture.

Ways we can support grieving colleagues with empathy and compassion
