Grief Doesn't Stay Home When Your Employees Come to Work
Practical, research-backed training that equips leaders to recognize grief, respond with confidence, and support their teams through loss.
Every leader will eventually manage someone who's grieving, a death in the family, a miscarriage, a diagnosis. Most weren't trained for it, and most companies don't have a plan for it either. The result: disengaged employees, missed warning signs, and good people who quietly struggle or quietly leave.
As a chaplain with a master's degree in business leadership and management, I built a training on recognizing and responding to grief-related disruption in the workplace, grounded in research and in The Grief Cycle, the framework I created to help people move through loss. I'd love to bring it to your team.
Research Shows
74% of employees say their work performance is affected after a significant loss. Nearly 1 in 9 are grieving a death right now, on your team, in your meetings, at their desks.
The Cost of Unaddressed Grief at Work
Grief doesn't stay contained to home. It shows up in meetings, in missed deadlines, in those moments when an employee is present but not really there. Here's what the research shows:
91% of grieving employees report a significant drop in productivity.
Only 11% of managers can correctly identify performance issues as grief-related.
Most Americans receive just 1 to 5 days off work after losing a loved one.
Unaddressed grief costs U.S. employers an estimated $75 billion annually in lost productivity.
90% of managers say they've noticed a performance impact in a bereaved employee.
About half of employees say they'd consider leaving their job if their employer didn't provide support after a loss.
Most companies offer just a few days of bereavement leave, but grief doesn't resolve in a week. Without training, leaders are left guessing how to respond, and employees are left to grieve alone while still expected to perform.
