Benefits Think What role can employers play in supporting employees facing loss or trauma?

Published 4 Min Read

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, most employees experienced loss, trauma or exceptional stress at some point during their working lives. The causes of that loss and trauma can include:

  • The death of a loved one.
  • A personal or family member’s serious accident or disease such as cancer, stroke, or heart attack.
  • A family member struggling with a substance use disorder or significant mental health issue.
