DefinedTalent's Top5 podcast presents. a conversation about grief in the workplace. Our guests, Daniela Herrera of RG/A, Kelly Parrotto, Talent Acquisition/Management Specialist and Dana Fahey, Talent Consultant/Professional Coach, share their experience with grief. 

Since grief comes in stages, often it is not fully addressed in a professional environment. Currently, grief is even more difficult to understand if you work in a hybrid for a fully remote environment.

 Grief is an important topic. We all experience loss. Loss of loved ones, loss of pets, loss of friends – grief comes in multiple formats at any time in our life. According to Healthline, there are 5 main types of grief:

1. Anticipatory grief – When you know a loss is coming
2. Inhibited grief – When you suppress your emotional grief
3. Absent grief – Forms when a person is in denial
4. Delayed grief – Comes after a loss (weeks, months, even years)
5. Disenfranchised grief – A grief that society does not recognize (i.e. the loss of a pet)
