The cost of grief to employers is huge but the Financial Cost of Grief in the workplace, is so hidden that if you search for the word “grief” on the Office for National Statistics website it will not only produce zero search results it will ask you if you meant “green”.Through our experience we know the number one symptom so common it almost universal is a massively reduced ability to concentrate. Results from a survey conducted by the Grief Recovery Institute; Management level responses were that:85% of management level decision makers rated their decision making very poor or poor in the weeks following the grief incident that affected them.60% of those responding fair, poor or very poor indicated that some of their decisions did have a direct negative financial impact on their company.A further 30% indicated that their decisions may have had a direct financial impact on their company.In other words only 10% were confident their decisions didn’t impact their company bottom line negatively!So what do to?The Grief Recovery Method is the only evidence based grief recovery action programme for those tired of carrying the pain and want to feel better. It is a specific programme of sessions so that grievers have a clear view of the time investment required to begin their recovery.When we think of grief, we tend to think just of bereavement however grief is defined as “the conflicting emotions that follow the ending or change in familiar patterns of behaviour” therefore grief relates to over 40 significant life events in addition to bereavement including relationship breakdown, pet loss, retirement, jobs and careers, loss of health and infertility.The aim of The Grief Recovery Method is to complete the loss therefore beginning recovery and reducing the pain.Working with me, with over 20years experience in HR, development and coaching (corporate and private) means that I appreciate the challenges facing executives and offer an empathic and supportive base to work from.
