You've taken the first steps. Your organisation recognises grief as a workplace issue and has foundational support in place.
Your organisation has trained advocates, clear policies, and a structured approach to supporting bereaved employees.

In Practice
What Our Construction Partners Say
“After losing a colleague on site, we had no idea how to support the team. WBA's critical incident response was on-site within hours and gave us a clear path forward. Every contractor should have this in place.”
“The Advocate Training was the most impactful two days of CPD I've had in 20 years in construction. I now feel equipped to have the conversations I used to avoid.”
