Supporting a Family After an Employee's Passing: How Can We Reach Out Compassionately?

Dear All,

I need some tips to handle an employee separation caused by death - the employee passed away due to cancer. As an organization, we want to reach out to the family during these difficult times. Can anyone suggest how we can do this? Your knowledge sharing would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Many companies follow different strategies. One commonly used method is as follows: all employees of the organization contribute a fixed amount, one day's salary, or half a day's salary. The management then makes an equal contribution. This approach works well when the number of employees ranges from 1000 to 10000. In very large companies with 20000 to 50000 employees, this practice may be limited to the division level. Even in very small companies, the collected amount may be minimal, but they can still implement this practice.

Agree with Siva. Apart from each employee contributing a day's salary with matching contribution from the company, you may also try:

1. Help in settlement of claims: Insurance (both his own and any company benefit-related).
2. Any employable person in the family can be considered for recruitment.
