Grief and Loss in the Workplace During COVID-19: Best Practices and Strategies
This morning, I had the honor of co-presenting a timely webinar with Susan Retik called Grief and Loss in the Workplace During COVID-19: Best Practices and Strategies. Today’s session was attended by 365 members of the Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) and the Massachusetts Municipal Human Resources Association. This included human resources leaders and town administrators. It was a great opportunity to speak with leaders about how to provide support, guidance, and psychological safety to their team members in a time of crisis. We especially loved this feedback from a participant: “This is truly the best webinar I’ve been on thus far. Thank you so very much for sharing your personal stories. These tips you have provided are spot on and more helpful than you realize.”
