About the event
This event will provide a space for an honest conversation about how employers, managers and colleagues can better understand and support people experiencing loss.
We’re honoured to welcome Lili Myers, wife of the late Dave Myers of the Hairy Bikers, as our guest speaker. As seen on ITV’s Lorraine and BBC Breakfast, Lili will share her deeply personal experience of grief and loss.
Hosted in an interview-style format, this honest and moving conversation will explore how grief affects us all and why it matters just as much in the workplace as it does at home.
We'll be discussing:
How grief affects people differently and why there's no "right way" to grieve
How managers and colleagues can respond with compassion and understanding
