Based in Wolston, Armadillo Life runs workshops for managers and teams to bring conversations about grief into the workplace, helping businesses increase productivity and retention through compassion and understanding.
Grief and loss can happen to anyone at any time. Every one of us will experience it, and some of us will suffer devastating losses. However, the workplace is rarely prepared for it in the immediate aftermath or how to support people into the future.
Our colleagues are often the people we spend the most amount of time with, and yet we often shy away from the personal or complex. Though much of this comes from a place of compassion and kindness, it can leave those already struggling feeling more isolated and alone.
Our training is designed to open up conversations about grief in the workplace and enable us to better support our employees, colleagues, and friends. It removes much of the discomfort, stigma and misconceptions around grief and give people insight and understanding they are often afraid or unwilling to seek out.
Becoming a member of the CW Champions allows us to bring awareness of our work to the Coventry and Warwickshire community and create better places to work.
