When Eva’s husband unexpectedly passed away, it had a profound impact on every aspect of her life, from her family to her work. 

AT&T jumped into action to support Eva, offering comprehensive bereavement benefits including Empathy's practical and emotional support, a dedicated Care Manager and a personalized plan to support her through the weeks and months following her loss, and help her and her family back on their feet.

“Empathy provided the pathway for a peace of mind while I could focus on our healing journey as a family.”  Eva said, reflecting on her experience with Empathy. 

At Empathy, our goal is to change the way the world deals with loss, one family at a time. We are honored to support Eva and her family, and countless other families like hers, through whatever challenge loss may bring.

The list of time-consuming logistical tasks that follow loss often need to be worked on during business hours, so flexibility is just as important as the number of days of bereavement leave offered.

Understandably this “part-time job” can easily distract employees from their full-time position, making bereavement more stressful than it already is, and affecting their productivity, job performance, and well-being. Flexible policies enable a level of personalization that employees need during this period.

It’s time to say goodbye to the 3 to 5 day norm - a new standard of care is emerging.

Traditionally, companies have focused bereavement policy on immediate family members. But adults today are increasingly a part of mutually supportive relationships that go beyond their mother, father, and siblings.

As a result, companies are redefining their bereavement leave policies to encompass a wider range of relationships, including complex familial ties through marriage, domestic partnerships, close friends and chosen families.

Writing bereavement policy in a way that respects the importance of these relationships creates a framework that better aligns with the reality of employees’ lives.

In our State of Bereavement Leave Guide, we address the diverse nature of modern family dynamics, and provide guidance on creating meaningful policy changes. Read the full guide here: https://hubs.la/Q02C5HsG0
