Loss in the workplace:
Supporting people through difficult times

11.30pm – 12.10pm

Summary

Supporting a team member through loss can be tough. This seminar helps leaders and managers to better understand how it can affect people at work, exploring bereavement and other difficult life changes such as illness, relationship breakdown, becoming a parent, or shifts in identity and role. We talk about how loss may show up in behaviour, performance and wellbeing, what compassionate support looks like in practice, and how to feel more confident having open conversations during difficult times.
