Dealing with death and grief
Dealing with death and grief at work or at university requires particular sensitivity and empathy. This is a challenging time, especially for those who are directly affected by a loss, but also for the entire team and the institution. Whether it is the loss of a colleague, fellow student or close relative, it is important to stand together as a community and create a supportive and compassionate environment during this difficult time. Our handout on dealing with death and grief in working life and studies is intended to support you in this and contains recommendations on how you as managers, colleagues or fellow students can support mourners, taking into account individual, religious and cultural needs.
