Holland & Hart has been recognized by The Compassionate Friends for showing extra sensitivity to bereaved employees following the death of a child. Nominated by the people the firm has directly helped, Holland & Hart is receiving Compassionate Employer Recognition in 2009 for going above and beyond the normal policies of most companies in helping its employees with the death of a child.
One hundred and forty one employers, representing 39 states plus Washington D.C. are being recognized for their compassion this year.
"So often employees who have experienced the death of a child are expected to return to work in three days, handle the same work load as before, and to leave their grief at home," says Patricia Loder, Executive Director of The Compassionate Friends. "There is oftentimes a lack of understanding by employers about the realities of grief in the workplace. These 141 employers, large and small, public and private, are being recognized for providing the compassion and understanding that is so vital to the bereavement process."
The Compassionate Friends is the nation's largest self-help bereavement organization with over 600 chapters serving all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.
