Reflections for Employers: Building a Compassionate Culture

1. Support begins with awareness:

Employers play a critical role in shaping environments where staff feel safe to express their grief. A compassionate workplace acknowledges that bereavement is not a ‘one-week issue’ but a journey.
Reflection: Does our workplace culture allow people to speak openly about grief without fear of judgement or job insecurity?

2. Flexibility can be life-changing:

Grief affects sleep, cognition, emotional stability, appetite, and physical health. Offering flexible working, reduced responsibilities, or temporary adjustments can make the difference between a staff member coping or breaking.
Reflection: How can we adapt expectations to honour someone’s humanity during one of the hardest chapters of their life?

Look out for 3 and 4 in our next post…..

Grief doesn’t pause when we step into the workplace. It travels with us in our thoughts, energy levels, concentration, and emotions.

For many, work becomes either a welcome structure or an overwhelming expectation. Both responses are normal.

Whether you are an employer supporting a grieving team member or an employee trying to navigate work while your heart feels heavy, compassion must come first.

Stay connected to Viadcoms for helpful tips and resources to support employers and employees navigating grief in the workplace.

This week marks National Grief Week. A time dedicated to raising awareness of the many ways grief affects individuals, families, and workplaces.

For many employees, navigating work during a time of loss can be incredibly challenging, as grief impacts emotional wellbeing, concentration, energy, and daily functioning.

For employers, it can be equally challenging to know how to approach the subject, what support to offer, and how to balance compassion with organisational needs.

Sadly, because of not knowing how to navigate grief in the workplace, many employers end up ‘playing it safe’, by not saying anything. This can end up looking like employers don’t care.

This week at VIADCOMS, we delve into this important topic and offer reflective guidance.

We’ll also be exploring how employers can meaningfully support grieving employees and how employees can gently support and care themselves through loss.

Stay tuned…..

Every year, people split into two groups the moment December ends.

On one side, you have Team Make a Resolution: the planners, the “new year, new mindset” crew. These are the people who love structure, fresh beginnings, and clear intentions. For them, resolutions are a way to stay focused, stay accountable, and step into the year with purpose.

Then there’s Team No Resolution: the ones who prefer to grow quietly and naturally, without the pressure of big January declarations. They believe change doesn’t have to wait for a date, and everyday growth matters just as much.

Both mindsets are valid. Some people thrive with plans while others thrive with flexibility.
What matters most is choosing what supports your wellbeing, not what tradition demands.

So tell us,
Which team are you entering the new year with: resolutions or no resolutions?

Before the new year starts, a lot of us want to make drastic changes right from the first day.

But such giant leaps could be overwhelming and we might end the year without achieving them all; making us feel like we didn't do enough.

So here's what to do to better manage your expectations of yourself.

1. Narrow your resolutions down to each specific goal.

2. Plan a way to measure your progress.

3. Avoid writing impossible goals.

4. After making the resolutions, read through and remove those that aren't relevant to where you want to be.

5. Fix a timeframe to each goal.

Breaking down your resolutions to actionable steps that can be taken daily makes room for you to celebrate little wins.

It's good to work towards a new version of you. What's even better is doing it on your own terms.

As the year draws to a close, many of us feel a natural pull to pause, look back, and ask ourselves, “What do I want to do differently?”
That’s where New Year’s resolutions come in.

Some make them because the new year feels like a symbolic reset, a chance to step away from old patterns and step toward who they hope to become.

Resolutions remind us that change is allowed. Growth is allowed. And even if we don’t get everything perfect, the intention alone can shift the way things turn out.

So before January arrives, ask yourself:
- What do I want more of?
- What do I want less of?

Your answers might just be your real resolutions.

It’s that time of the year again, when people begin reflecting on their personal and career journeys. This is where New Year resolutions come in.

A term we’re all very familiar with. But what exactly are New Year resolutions?

They are the intentional commitments we make to improve different areas of our lives in the coming year.
The goals and habits we choose to adopt, not because the calendar demands it, but because we want to grow, do better, and feel better.

At their core, New Year resolutions are about self-awareness, growth, and taking practical steps toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

We’re curious to know, are you for or against New Year resolutions? Let us know in the comments 💬

All week, we’ve been exploring navigating the festive season, with discussions on:

- the emotional pressure behind the celebrations
- the silent burdens we don’t often talk about
- the importance of grounding routines
- and the need for gentle, honest self-compassion.

Between the celebrations, or even the loneliness, there’s a quiet moment waiting for you. Use it to reset.
To release the weight of this year and make room for the version of you that’s emerging.

Just remember that you’re not alone in your experience. Your feelings are valid, and taking steps to protect your peace is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At VIADCOMS, we remain committed to supporting you through the highs and lows of the holidays and beyond. If you need guidance, emotional support, or counselling services for yourself or your employees, we’re just a DM away.

If this season feels heavier than joyful, this is your reminder that:

-you’re allowed to feel how you do
-you don’t need to force cheerfulness
-you are not behind
-you are not weak
-you are not alone

Just remember that you’re doing your best, and that’s enough.

At Viadcoms, we believe your wellbeing deserves priority, even during the busiest times.

The end of the year festive season often comes with noise, pressure, expectations, and emotional highs and lows. To help you stay grounded, here are a few simple personal festive routines you can create for yourself:

1. Start by defining what the season truly means to you.

2. Set boundaries that protect your energy. It’s okay to limit how many events you attend or how long you stay.

3. Build in daily or weekly grounding rituals like morning/evening walk, meditation, & journaling.

4. Make rest a priority.

5. Keep your routines flexible.

6. End the season with reflection on your activities.
