Wellbeing Event - Grief, Loss & the Workplace
About this Event
Join us to hear an honest conversation about how employers, managers and colleagues can better understand and support people experiencing loss, including practical tips.
Who should attend
This event is ideal for managers, HR professionals, wellbeing champions and anyone interested in supporting others through grief and loss.
Why you should attend
We’re honoured to welcome Lili Myers, wife of the late Dave Myers of the Hairy Bikers, as our guest speaker. As seen on ITV’s Lorraine and BBC Breakfast, Lili will share her deeply personal experience of grief and loss.
Hosted in an interview-style format, this honest and moving conversation will explore how grief affects us all and why it matters just as much in the workplace as it does at home.
What we’ll be discussing
- How grief affects people differently and why there's no "right way" to grieve
- How managers and colleagues can respond with compassion and understanding
- What organisations can do to genuinely support employees through loss
What you’ll get
- A practical manager support guide
- What to say – and what to avoid
- What to do in the first 48 hours
- How to get the return to work right
- Ideas for ongoing support and signposting
There will also be time for networking and an opportunity to connect with others.
Tickets cost £20, with all proceeds supporting Rise North East and helping us continue our work to transform lives, communities and places through the power of movement.
