Sector Context

Why Corporate Is Different

Professional culture expects employees to 'leave it at the door'
Remote and hybrid working makes bereaved employees invisible
Performance management systems don't account for grief
Bereavement leave policies are often the bare statutory minimum
Managers receive no training on how to support a grieving colleague
High retention costs make compassionate support a business imperative
