When They Come Back: A Virtual Workshop for People Managers

Join Shannan Guillory, founder of Prism Memorial, and Dr. Whitney Griffin, founder of Black Lightning Education Consulting, for a timely virtual workshop designed to help people managers lead with empathy, clarity, and confidence when grief shows up on their team.

Whether you're an HR lead, location supervisor, or people manager navigating uncharted emotional terrain, this workshop will equip you with the tools and language to welcome grieving employees back with intention, not pressure. Together, we’ll explore how to prepare for re-entry, adjust expectations, and foster a grief-informed workplace culture that supports both your team and your bottom line.

What you’ll learn:

✔ Grief-informed language to use (and avoid)

✔ How to adjust workload expectations fairly

✔ A checklist for planning a meaningful return
