When a workplace is notified that an employee has died, it sets off a series of emotional reactions within employees, and operations by the organization in which the EAP becomes actively involved in both. The role the EAP from the onset is to offer steady, compassionate guidance to organizational leadership, subject matter expertise on crisis intervention, grief reactions, and fostering resilience. Through the use of a variety of on-site interventions led by trained EAP professionals/consultants, employees and organizations move through normal reactions, and potentially complex scenarios reaching stabilization and restoration of normal, healthy activity. It is a process that is more of a resilience process than a bereavement process but onsite EAP professionals, need to be prepared for both. EAP CIR response to workplace death helps employees and organizations bounce back from the adversity of death.  

In this training you will learn:

• A grief model most applicable to employee death and its impact on the organization.

• The onsite role differences between grief counselors and EAP CIR responders.

• The staging and delivery of all onsite interventions consistent to workplace culture influences. 

• Strategies for multi-systemic engagement 

• Virtual application.

​

This training is recommended to all EAP professionals and consultants  available to go onsite on behalf of EAPs.  Certificate of Specialized Training is awarded upon completion, 2.0 PDHs for CEAP and 2 hours CEU are pending.​​
