LEADERSHIP STYLE

Organizations must empower leaders to support bereaved employees through their authentic leadership style, whether that's through emotional connection, practical systems, or team orchestration. The key is providing clear organizational guidelines that ensure consistent care while allowing leaders to leverage their natural strengths in delivering that support.

EMPLOYEE SUPPORT

Leaders need clear playbooks, resources, and training to confidently navigate employee bereavement, including practical tools for workload management, cultural considerations, and communication templates. By providing structured guidance while encouraging authentic leadership approaches, organizations enable leaders to create psychologically safe environments where every team member knows exactly how they'll be supported through loss.

TEAM SUPPORT

Leaders need both practical coverage plans and clear emotional boundaries when a team experiences loss. They must balance maintaining business momentum while creating space for their team's natural response to a colleague's bereavement. The goal is to create a reliable framework that keeps the team stable and productive while making space for natural human responses to loss. This balanced approach helps prevent both emotional overwhelm and cold detachment - instead fostering resilience through clear structures and appropriate support.
