Date and Time

Location

Virtual

Details

Grief does not stop at the workplace door. It can impact performance, communication, relationships, and overall well-being. Because grief looks different for everyone, it is often misunderstood — yet they are our individual natural responses to loss.

This session provides practical insight and tools to better understand grief and help foster a more compassionate workplace culture.

In This Session, You Will:

  • Gain a high-level understanding of grief and how it affects the five realms of experience
  • Recognize how grief can impact daily routines, focus, and team dynamics
  • Identify grief activations
  • Learn practical ways to support yourself and colleagues
  • Build confidence in using supportive, person-first language — including what to say and what not to say
  • Understand the role of self-compassion
  • Learn how to create a culture of compassion that promotes empathy and understanding in both our personal and professional lives
