Episode 12 Loss and Its impact on Business, Career and Dreams. - a podcast by whenlifestop

Episode 12: Loss and the impact on your business, job and dreams 

Welcome to episode 12 of When life stops, a podcast on finding new meaning after loss.  We are nearly at the end of season 1 of this podcast and it has been humbling getting feedback, emails, comments from you all. We don’t take it for granted that you tune in each time we drop a new episode. 

Today’s topic is centered on loss and the impact it has on your livelihood- your business, job and dreams. 

We talk about how the tendency to want to keep busy after a loss actually suppresses our grief.  We shared in Episode 2 some typical grief responses and one of the things we mentioned was reduced concentration and we relate that to how much financial impact it has on grievers, employers and business owners.

The Grief Recovery Institute published a groundbreaking report called the Grief Index aimed at examining the financial impact of grief and we present some of this information, updated and applied to UK statistics along with some strategies business owners can take back to their businesses that will allow them to mitigate some of these costs.

When we take these figures into account, employers need to check whether their employment policy encourages people to work too soon after a major grief causing life events, therefore, costing more to the bottom line than allowing them more compassionate leave. 
In this episode, we encourage you to prioritize your health, find out what your employment policy is concerning bereavement or loss in general, speak to your doctor and always ask God for strength. 
Thank you once more for tuning in today, we enjoy reading from you. Please leave us a review on the podcast app you are listening from, leave us a rating and pls share this podcast with anyone you know who may be experiencing loss.
