Compassionate Workplaces is a UK events website title event scheduled for October 13, 2026 at Ipswich County Library in Ipswich. The workshop offers practical guidance to managers and HR professionals on how to handle issues related to staff death and loss, providing valuable insights and networking opportunities within the business category.
A practical introduction for anybody (especially line managers and HR teams) that will help build staff confidence around death and loss.
At St Elizabeth Hospice, we recognise that workplaces play a vital role in supporting employees who are affected by bereavement, loss and long-term illness. We also understand that every workplace is made up of people from many different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, each with their own experiences and priorities when it comes to care, grief and loss.
Compassionate Workplaces is a free two-hour awareness session designed to help employers better support their workforce through these challenges. The training provides practical guidance and insights to help create a more compassionate and inclusive workplace culture.
Particularly beneficial for line managers, HR professionals and people leaders, the session offers a practical introduction that will build confidence in having supportive conversations and responding appropriately to employees experiencing loss. By investing in compassionate support, organisations can improve staff wellbeing and contribute to better long-term outcomes for both employees and the business.
A networking lunch will be provided at the end of the session from 12-1, offering an opportunity to continue discussions, share experiences and connect with others committed to creating compassionate workplaces.
