How To Support Grieving Employees
April 10, 2018
Death and loss happen to employees and coworkers. Family members die and some gure in unfortunate fatal accidents.
When grief strikes coworkers, one can be profoundly affected as well – here are some steps to take to help comfort and
support them at this di cult time.
The company management can organize ways to offer sympathy. These include collecting money for a struggling
employee, taking a dish to pass at a wake, lining up home-cooked dinners for weeks for the bereaved family, sending
owers, or sending a group card signed by coworkers.

Bosses and managers should be specially equipped to deal with the situation. They are, after all, the rst ones to be
informed in the organization when there is a sad life situation that occurs. Be prepared to talk to the employee about

staff, be caring, supportive, and knowledgeable about the options available to the grieving employee.
Know, too, that offering employees more time to deal with the grief via longer bereavement leave or reduced work hours
could wind up costing the organization less. There are available mechanisms to ensure that work gets done while the
employee nds time to heal. Companies such as Facebook and Mastercard, for instance, have offered extended
bereavement leaves to their employees.

It’s also important to give the person all the time and space an employee needs. Create a strategy to reassign projects,
introduce a exible schedule for the time being, and take some pressure off the employee’s back.
