Death & Grief in the Workplace

Contingency Plan
Training

Counseling

Although death and grief are universal experiences, they remain highly sensitive topics and are often treated as taboo. In the workplace, bereavement and loss are frequently overlooked — or, conversely, normalized despite their significant impact on employees, teams, and organizations.

How can companies and institutions better acknowledge death and grief at work while providing meaningful support to affected employees?

Together, let’s strengthen your social responsibility and workplace culture by addressing topics that truly matter. By creating compassionate bereavement support and fostering a more human-centered work environment, you can differentiate your organization, enhance employee well-being, and improve talent retention.

My services are particularly suited to non-profit organizations, healthcare and social care institutions, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities:

  • Supporting employees and teams through change, individually or collectively.
  • Assessing current practices and implementing compassionate and sustainable approaches to bereavement and psychosocial well-being.

Symbolic Loss and Change Management

Every transformation involves letting go of established roles, practices, or identities. We help organizations and individuals navigate symbolic losses and change processes with awareness, empathy, and resilience, fostering healthier workplace cultures and stronger team cohesion.

EMERGENCY


  • I help you ask the right questions and clarify your role in times of crisis. When a death or bereavement affects the workplace, urgent decisions and sensitive situations require appropriate support.
  • How should you communicate? What attitude should you adopt? How can you support employees, managers, colleagues, clients, and partners with empathy and professionalism?
  • My guidance helps you navigate emergencies, coordinate responses, and foster compassionate communication with all stakeholders.

I am trained in bereavement support following traumatic and violent deaths, including suicide, and in workplace bereavement support.
