Workforce Impact of Loss and Bereavement Survey: How Organizations are Failing their Employees

Homethrive survey data shows that the majority of grieving employees still lack adequate support in navigating a loss.

Introduction

Once bereavement leave runs out, employees inherit more than just grief. They’re suddenly responsible for over 570 hours of overwhelming logistics from funeral arrangements, probate, account closures, estate paperwork, and bene􀄝t claims at the moment they’re least equipped to handle it. Naturally, much of this work occurs during business hours, when these agencies and organizations are available.
