Thank you to Reuters for this October 30th article laying out 4 things companies can do to support grieving employees. Grief costs US employers over $100B a year in absenteeism, turnover, workplace accidents and more, so aside from wanting to ensure a compassionate workplace, there are business reasons to improve bereavement benefits. Extending bereavement leave is critical, and being flexible with employees when they do return to work should go without saying. Grief brain is real (just ask neuroscientist Mary-Frances O'Connor who worked with us at Help Texts to craft text messages for grievers, and for their managers & colleagues too, so they can learn how to help). If you're looking for an easy, affordable way to offer every grieving employee expert grief support, Help Texts is a perfect solution. We offer a full year of support with special tips for navigating grief at work, for employees and their managers and colleagues too. It's simple and it works. https://loom.ly/PJxMy7w

There are an estimated 40+ million unpaid caregivers in the United States alone. These people are not only caregivers in the medical sense; they also offer administrative support, mental and emotional support, and social support to their loved one—all while doing their best to balance their own needs. ⚖️ It's a lot to handle, and caregivers often report feeling isolated and overwhelmed. During #NationalFamilyCaregiverMonth, consider gifting a Help Texts subscription to a friend or family member caring for someone with a terminal diagnosis. Our short, helpful messages are written by end-of-life experts and caregiving educators. They offer personalized, comforting support that not only helps your friend feel seen and heard as a caregiver; they also help them feel less alone. https://loom.ly/BWWJ-E4 #HelpTexts #Caregiver #Caregiving #FamilyCaregiver #Carer #Hospice #TerminalIllness #TerminalDiagnosis #EndofLife #Dying #HomeHealth #HomeHealthcare #Healthcare #GriefSupport
