How to support grieving staff
As part of Dying Matters Awareness Week, Zoe Sinclair, co-founder of This Can Happen, shares in The Sun why it’s vital for employers to acknowledge grief in the workplace. Whether it’s the death of a loved one or anticipatory grief, these experiences don’t stay at home - and neither should the support. Zoe offers powerful reflections on the importance of compassion, understanding, and open dialogue at work.
