Do you know how to support a bereaved employee?
When someone in your team experiences the death of a loved one, it can be hard to know what to say or do. Many managers worry about saying the wrong thing or adding to someone’s distress.
But the way you respond can make a profound difference – not only to the bereaved person, but to their colleagues and the wider workplace.
Our bereavement training workshops give you the confidence, language and practical tools you need to support people well.
What our bereavement training covers
Delivered at our children’s hospice, Russell House, by our expert team who have years of experience supporting bereaved families, this training will give you an insight into:
- What bereavement really is – and what it isn’t
- What to say – and what not to say
- Bereavement leave entitlements
- Creating a supportive workplace
- Looking after yourself too.
Aimed at employers and managers, HR and People teams, team leaders and supervisors or anyone responsible for staff wellbeing, whether you’ve supported grieving staff before or don’t know where to start, this workshop gives you the confidence to handle difficult conversations well.
