Culture, clarity and leadership that support your people through grief.

Grief is already present in every workplace. I help organisations respond with confidence, care and humanity so employees feel supported and leaders feel equipped to navigate difficult moments.


The reality

Grief is already present in your organisation.

At any given time, people within your teams may be experiencing loss.

This could be the death of a loved one, caring for an ageing parent, miscarriage, divorce, serious illness, or other profound life changes.

Grief does not stay neatly outside the workplace.

When it is unsupported, it can quietly show up as disengagement, absence, loss of focus, or conflict within teams.

Yet many organisations want to support their people well. They simply don’t feel equipped to do it.

I created Companies of Compassion to help organisations build cultures where grief can be acknowledged, supported, and navigated with care..

Introducing Companies of Compassion

A structured approach to compassionate workplaces.

Companies of Compassion is a four stage programme designed to help organisations build confidence, understanding, and supportive leadership around grief in the workplace.

The programme unfolds through four stages:

Beginnings: Creating safe foundations and shared understanding around grief.

Awareness: Helping teams recognise the many forms grief can take and how it can appear in working life.

Kindle: Opening meaningful conversations and encouraging empathy within teams.

Evolve: Embedding compassionate leadership practices that strengthen culture long term.

Through facilitated conversations, reflective exercises, and leadership guidance, organisations develop a culture where people feel seen, supported, and valued.


Why compassionate workplaces Matter

Supporting employees through grief is not simply a wellbeing initiative. It is a leadership responsibility.

Research consistently shows that when people feel supported during difficult life moments, organisations benefit from stronger trust, loyalty, and long term engagement.

Compassionate leadership strengthens culture and builds psychological safety.
It helps people remain connected to their work during challenging periods.

Organisations that approach grief with humanity and clarity create environments where people can continue to contribute and thrive.

Ways We Can Work Together

There are several ways I support organisations in developing compassionate workplaces.
