#171 From Personal Grief to Compassionate Employers: Rethinking Workplace Support with Lucy Carpenter

Lucy Carpenter leads the Compassionate Employers Programme at Hospice UK, supporting organisations to better care for employees experiencing grief, caring responsibilities, or life-changing diagnoses. Lived experience shapes Lucy's passion. In our discussion, Lucy describes being a carer for her Dad in her early 20s, her Dad's experience of working while living with a terminal illness and the simple steps all organisations could take to support employees.  This episode has been kindly supported by the Living Well Dying Well Trust.
