Among the treetops of Victoria’s
museum, 23 employers were today awarded for the compassion
they have shown to employees who have lost a loved one.
The awards were presented by Rhonda Galbally AO, on behalf
of The Compassionate Friends Victoria – a support
group for bereaved parents and siblings.
Each year, The Compassionate Friends (TCF) accepts nominations
from bereaved Victorians who’s employers have demonstrated
extraordinary compassion to support them through their
grief. Twenty three businesses, hospitals and community
organisations from across the state today received thanks
for the support they provided.
“When a family loses a loved one the grief is often
crippling. Employers can be a great source of comfort
or of frustration during this time. Employers who have
gone above and beyond the normal policies of most companies
in helping employees deserve to be recognised for the
significant role they can play in the grieving process,”
said Barb Summers, TCF President.
Employers have provided a range of compassionate support
including: unconditional & unlimited paid compassionate
leave, organising and paying for counselling for an entire
family, gradual return to work schedules, a Perpetual
award in memory of a loved one and financial support for
a family to return to Australia after the death.
