The impact of grief in the workplace costs businesses millions of dollars annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, workplace accidents, health care costs, lack of focus and engagement, and presenteeism (present but not there) To a great degree the costs are unnecessary and avoidable. They could be substantially mitigated by heightened awareness and some simple, practical shifts in communication. This workshop equips your company to recognize, respond and support employees through losses caused by divorce, family crisis, financial loss, death of a loved one, major lifestyle alteration, pet loss, infertility...while increasing employee engagement, satisfaction, and productivity. The Grief Index Study: Impact on Business.

According to the American Hospice Foundation, at any given time, 25 percent of the workforce is grieving a loss.The reduced cost of grief can be accomplished without great expense

Let’s equip your church to support and love those with broken hearts in the church and your community. This is an eye-opening session that will give you a new understanding of grief, trauma and loss – and that it isn’t just caused by death but could be due to any of the many other losses of life – divorce, miscarriage, infertility, job loss, abuse, etc. Loss has a huge impact on your congregation. Your mindset will change and you will be empowered with tools, resources, and ideas that will allow you to create your own unique approach to effectively minister to the hurting in your church and community. The results can be an incredible outreach opportunity as well as a healthier congregation.
