Blackness, Death & Grief

Do you know your company’s employment policy on grief? Have you ever faced obstacles at work when dealing with personal grief? While new employees focus on benefits such as vacation and sick leave when getting hired, other benefits, such as bereavement leave matter. In this episode, we discuss grief and the impact it has on black communities, as well as popular grief models and how they show up. Then we provide receipts related to death and grief in the black community and in the workplace, before wrapping up with a double dose of C-CRETS on how to personally respond to loss as it relates to work, and what companies can do to create more humane policies and practices for employees going through grief.
