Download or read book Handling Death and Bereavement at Work written by David Charles-Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3,500 people die every day in the UK and their death may affect the workplace in many ways. If the deceased was an employee, for example, or the partner of an employee, their manager will need to sort out the difficult issues that arise from death. This workbook places bereavement on the management agenda rather than leaving managerial responses to chance. It is a guide for anyone in an organisation who, in the case of death, has to take responsibility, from managers, human resource and occupational health specialists, to welfare officers and trade union representatives.
