Seminar – Grief in the Workplace
It's not just colleagues who die; grief is also present in private life and an important topic that also influences work. Employees grieve for close relatives, parents, sometimes children, and not infrequently for clients, students, or even students. Beside great sympathy, there often remains a sense of shock and uncertainty. What helps colleagues and their families, and how can work be reorganised in a new and perhaps different way?
This one-day seminar will take place on 20/02/2026, and is aimed at human resources managers, executives, and all interested employees who would like to further their education in the field of grief and death. You can register until the 31st of January, 2026.
