    Managing Grieving Employees with Loss Support feat. Jennifer Good

    After bereavement leave runs out and the sympathy flowers stop arriving, your 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. Senior Director Jennifer Good joined Homethrive following the company's acquisition of Peacefully, an organization that pioneered support for families navigating end-of-life tasks for their loved ones. Jennifer founded Peacefully after personally experiencing the challenges that come when a loved one passes away. In this episode, we explore how loss support allows family members to focus on their healing during times of grief, and how to handle loss as an employer. The sponsor of this podcast is Homethrive, an employee benefit that assists with the full spectrum of caregiving challenges with a single, integrated platform that proactively recommends next steps and provides hands-on live assistance.
