Dying Matters Awareness Week
This week, from 8 - 14 May 2023, we're encouraging communities across the country to come together to talk about death, dying and grief in the workplace.
Starting conversations about dying is often not as hard as you might think.
Every year, people around the country use Dying Matters Awareness Week as a moment to encourage all communities to get talking in whatever way, shape or form works for them. In 2023, Dying Matters Awareness Week will take place from 8 - 14 May.
Dying matters at work, too
For Dying Matters Awareness Week 2023, we'll be focusing on Dying Matters at work.
57% of employees will have experienced a bereavement in the last five years and every day, more than 600 people quit work to look after older and disabled relatives. And yet, fewer than one in five managers feel very confident supporting someone they manage with a bereavement.
By talking to those around you, you can help us make sure that workplaces are properly set up to support people who are ill, who are caring for those around them, or who have lost someone close to them.
