A guide for best practices for both employers and employees when it comes to Bereavement leave. From legal to cultural needs, this blog covers it all.
Death isn’t easy, and it affects us deeply—both at work and at home. Proper support in the workplace goes a long way in someones grief journey and Bereave is here to help give that support to everyone through this challenging time. Wondering how Bereave works and who we support? We’ve got you covered!
Who uses Bereave?
Bereave supports everyone in the workplace—anyone can use it for support during tough times, managers use it to prepare and access resources for those in need, and HR uses it to automate steps, track progress and stay connected every step of the way.
An employee loses a close loved one, how does Bereave help?
Bereave brings everyone together: the employee (and their family) receives grief support and task guidance, managers are trained to handle difficult news with care and follow checklists for procedures, while HR tracks progress, participation, and key dates, keeping business moving and everyone supported throughout.
I’m not in HR, but I still want to make a change at work. What can I do?
- You’re a hero for stepping up!
- You have two options: use the link here to have us share Bereave with your HR team (anonymously, if you’d like), or fill out our Bereavement Enhancement Request form here to share with HR yourself. Either way, you’re helping to start create a more supportive workplace for everyone!
How does onboarding work?
Onboarding varies by company but typically includes two Zoom calls with HR, a quick upload of your employee list, and onboarding emails sent to everyone. Employees can then explore and personalize their experience, while managers and HR receive special access to their own content and trainings.

How much does it cost?
