Grief Counseling in the Workplace: What HR Should Have Ready
Spring Health says employees who chose grief as a top mental health challenge were 2.2 times as likely to report isolation at work.
- Spring Health argued on Wednesday that HR leaders must establish grief support systems before loss occurs, as grief often persists long after bereavement leave ends.
- Employees identifying grief as a top mental health challenge in 2026 were 2.2 times as likely to report isolation and 1.7 times as likely to experience burnout, according to Spring Health.
- Effective support requires more than bereavement leave; it demands flexible schedules, workload adjustments, and confidential mental health benefits for diverse, non-traditional losses.
- Training helps managers recognize performance changes like withdrawal and missed deadlines, allowing them to use a playbook for check-ins that prioritizes support over diagnosis.
- By validating disenfranchised grief—including pet loss and estrangement—without forcing disclosure, organizations help grieving employees maintain performance while receiving necessary care.
