Grief is something every employee will experience, yet so few organisations feel equipped to respond well. When someone experiences loss, the way a leader shows up becomes a defining moment, one that shapes trust, psychological safety, and their long-term connection to work.
This webinar is designed to give leaders the clarity, confidence, and compassion needed to support grieving colleagues in a meaningful and human way.
Hex is pleased to welcome Jodie Phillips, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and specialist in grief and bereavement. Jodie will guide leaders through the emotional realities of loss, share practical tools for sensitive conversations, and help you understand what good organisational support truly looks like, beyond policies alone.
You’ll learn how to create environments that hold people through difficult moments, and how to support individuals as they return to work with care, flexibility, and appropriate expectations.
In this session, we’ll explore:
The emotional realities of grief and how it shows up at work
How to approach bereavement conversations with confidence and empathy
What effective support looks like: policies, flexibility, communication, and boundaries
How to build a culture that feels safe, supportive, and human during times of loss
Key considerations for returning to work: pace, expectations, and sustained care
Owing to the sensitivity of the subject matter, we’re unable to share the webinar online. A resource document with bereavement-related information and guidance is available for you to access instead.
