grief in the workplace

Grief in the workplace refers to the emotional response employees experience after losing someone important, such as a loved one or a close colleague. It can affect their ability to focus, work efficiently, and interact with others. Employers may notice signs like decreased productivity, fatigue, or withdrawal. Supporting grieving employees involves offering understanding, flexible arrangements, and resources like counseling. Recognizing and respecting their process helps create a compassionate environment that facilitates healing while maintaining workplace stability.
