Death Literacy and Grief Leadership
November 9 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Office of Engagement and Global Initiatives
Grief is often overlooked in business, yet at any time 10-20% of the workforce is experiencing significant loss, impacting focus, health, productivity, and retention, with major economic consequences. This research applies rigorous mixed methods, combining a large-scale global survey and in-depth interviews, to quantify and understand grief in the workplace and expose gaps in organisational support. It also introduces Al-powered tools that make the impact of grief visible and help individuals and managers respond more effectively. The work demonstrates how research and technology can address deeply human challenges, offering both practical business value and a more ethical, empathetic approach to insight.
