Homethrive survey data shows that the majority of grieving employees still lack adequate support in navigating a loss.

Once bereavement leave runs out, employees inherit more than just grief. They’re suddenly responsible for over 570 hours of overwhelming logistics from funeral arrangements, probate, account closures, estate paperwork, and benefit claims at the moment they’re least equipped to handle it. Naturally, much of this work occurs during business hours, when these agencies and organizations are available.

Despite the impact on productivity, absenteeism, and turnover – loss support is still lacking for most organizations.
