Compassionate Employers is a workplace support programme, which helps employers support their employees through bereavement, caring responsibilities or illness.
In 2023, we know that 57% of employees have experienced a bereavement in the last five years,
and more than 600 people quit work to look after older and disabled relatives every day
We are delighted to have joined the Compassionate Employers programme through Hospice UK. The Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHS Trusts have been awarded silver, a demonstration of our commitment to better supporting our employees who are affected by terminal illness, care, and bereavement and to creating
a more compassionate culture for workers in the UK.
As a member of Compassionate Employers, our employees have access to a range of benefits including:
- Workshops and webinars
- 24/7 access to the online members’ hub
The online members’ hub can help with issues such as:
- Practical and legal advice following a bereavement
- Carers rights and support
- Support after a life-changing diagnosis
- Guidance and signposting for line managers
- Knowing what to say and what not to say
- HR toolkits
