Have you ever felt uncertain about how to support a grieving colleague, or had your own grief go unacknowledged at work? If so, you’re not alone. Human loss is an unavoidable part of life, but most Americans report they don’t know what to say or do when someone is grieving. Join AVMA’s director of member wellbeing and diversity initiatives to explore how to create grief-ready workplaces: ones that support colleagues, strengthen relationships, increase wellbeing, promote higher staff retention, bolster workplace morale, and maintain high-functioning work environments.

Instead of avoiding or dismissing grief at work, you’ll learn how to develop a plan to respond compassionately in the aftermath of human loss. Come away with important knowledge about grief, ways to provide structure for helping colleagues transition back to work after a loss, and insight into common phrases that often miss the mark with grievers, along with suggestions for what to say instead.
