Grief in the Workplace with Irish Hospice Foundation
Grief in the Workplace with Irish Hospice Foundation
Experiencing the death of someone close, is a common yet extremely difficult life experience. Grief is the reaction or process a person goes when they are bereaved or experience a significant life loss, yet it is often underestimated and misunderstood. Many people will be employed at the time they experience this and having good social support at work is really important. This webinar will help you to understand the grieving experience, how it impacts people but also how we can support those who are grieving in the workplace. By having a clearer understanding of this, it will also help you to make sense of your own grief experiences.
