Grief in the Workplace is specifically targeted at business owners, organizational principals, managing executives, human resource personnel, and front-line supervision. It is not intended to be provided directly to employees or other business-related associates who are experiencing grief from a family death or personal crisis.The business entities targeted in this publication include for-profit and non-profit organizations, federal, state, or local government agencies, as well as associations and civic groups. While the for-profit business model typically focuses on maximizing profits, all other organizational structures generally share the same goal of taking in revenue and minimizing costs. Therefore, the responsibilities of sound business stewardship fall equally on the leaders of every organizational framework. Grief will come to work, and those leaders charged with overseeing the bereaved employee should possess the awareness and understanding found in Grief in the Workplace. Doing so will not just mitigate the potential for productivity and revenue loss, but compassionately support the employee, as well as the community.
