Empower your workplace to navigate loss with compassion and understanding

Workplace grief is a reality that affects countless organisations. When employees experience loss, it can significantly impact their mental health, productivity, and overall job satisfaction.

Thousands of workplaces across Australia are directly impacted by the death of a team member or employee’s loved ones every year. Research indicates many organisations do not have the appropriate training and support structures in place to ensure the psychosocial safety and wellbeing of employees as a priority when it comes to navigating grief in the workplace.

Enhance your workplace psychosocial safety by incorporating grief and loss support delivered by our experts:
