With two tragic air crashes last year, we have all grappled with the loss of family and friends,some of whom we worked closely with. perhaps the most overlooked aspect of such unfortunate losses is the impact it has at the workplace. we spend two thirds of our day at our offices and form deep bonds with some of our co-workers. losing them in tragic accidents can be as profound a loss as losing a family member.
After 9/11, corporations in the USA set up groups to deal with post traumatic stress disorders, as well as the sense of loss that the employees experienced. the Pakistani corporate world, in contrast, still has a long way to go in recognizing and dealing with such situations.
A person dealing with the loss of a friend at work will experience the five universal stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, sadness and acceptance.
