Supporting a Colleague or Employee who has Lost a Baby

Description

Baby loss can be a deeply isolating experience. When an employee or colleague experiences baby loss, it can be challenging for managers and coworkers to know how to respond appropriately. Many want to offer support but worry about overstepping boundaries or saying something that might cause additional distress.

This resource equips your organisation to respond with both empathy and practical support, helping affected employees navigate their return to work while respecting their healing process. It includes:

• A video offering guidance on returning to work after baby loss, commons challenges experienced, and things to consider
• A practical leaflet with specific suggestions for helpful words, actions, and ongoing support
• An example email template for employees returning to work
• Information on how to arrange specialist support services for your employees
