Would your boss care if your dog died?
It might sound like a simple question, but it raises some important conversations around the modern workplace, compassion, employee wellbeing, and what the law actually says.
For many of us, our furry friends are family. The loss of a beloved pet can be deeply personal, and the grief can be every bit as profound as losing any other family member.
Our General Manager Jodie Engerer recently joined Overnights with Mike Jeffreys to discuss the growing role pets play in our lives, whether employers should consider pet bereavement leave, and how businesses can balance empathy with operational realities.
As workplaces continue to evolve, these conversations are becoming more relevant than ever.
