How does a company grieve?
This has been a terrible week for our company - TGS. Starting off with an employee having a psychiatric breakdown at work, then dismissing an employee and finally today, getting news that one of our Sales guys, Sabelo, was killed in a car accident.
How does a company process these events? How do we grieve?
Barely 30mins since the news people are laughing and seemingly back to their tasks without too much grief being expressed. Perhaps this is a defense mechanism? Perhaps the passing of a colleague is a distant passing - not like that of a family member? Perhaps we're all struggling internally? Perhaps we're fine - after all, the job has to get done.
As an HR Manager this is a first for me. I'd like to hear any suggestions as to how we, as a collective, might remember him and honour his life as a way of grieving.
