Ensure Online Signature Lawfulness for Funeral Leave Policy in India

How to eSign a document: online signature lawfulness for Funeral Leave Policy in India

>>> HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GRIEVE? ING TO MANY COMPANIES, ONLY THREE DAYS. MORE THAN ATTENDING A FUNERAL TO PROCESS A LOSS. IN HONOR OF NATIONAL GRIEF AWARENESS DAY, THE NONPROFIT, OPTION B, ROLLING OUT POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EMPLOYERS TO TALK ABOUT BEREAVEMENT. HOLLY WILBANKS FROM WELLINGS CONSULTING AND HOST A BUNGALOW BY THERAPIST, SARAH AND AMY. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I DO THINK A LOT OF COMPANIES OFFER THIS THREE-DAY POLICY, IF YOU ARE LUCKY. NOBODY CAN POSSIBLY GRIEVE IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? >> THAT IS THE QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. >> I WILL START, MY HUSBAND PAID. THEN YOU TAKE SOME UNPAID AND I NEEDED TO TAKE A BUNCH OF MONTHS OFF. THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW GRIEF IS NOT LINEAR. IT COMES AT DIFFERENT TIMES , I NEEDED TO TAKE A WHOLE YEAR OFF LATER AND IT STILL COMES UP FROM TIME TO TIME. I THINK HAVING AN EMPLOYER THAT UNDERSTANDS AND IS UNDERSTANDING AND SHOWS THAT THEY CARE? ALL THE DIFFERENCE. >> I AGREE. REEF IS NOT AN ENDING PROCESS. YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL THE LOSS OF SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. THAT IS KIND OF HOW IT WORKS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH SPACE. I CAN BE SYMPATHETIC IS DEFINITELY HELPFUL. THREE DAYS IS CERTAINLY NOT LONG ENOUGH. MY OLDEST GRIEF , MY OLDEST BROTHER PASSED AWAY WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD, I'M 42. I GRIEVE HIS LOSS AND MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY TWO YEARS AGO. STILL GRIEVING HER LOSS. >> EXACTLY. HOLLY , FROM A COMPANY STANDPOINT, WHAT YOU SEE WHAT COMPANIES AND WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING AND TRULY WHAT IS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF TIME ? >> THERE ARE FEDERAL LEAVE. THE STATE OF OREGON AS PART OF THE PAID FAMILY LEAVE OPTIONS, THEY ALLOW FOR BEREAVEMENT LEAVE. EVERY OTHER STATE AND EVERY OTHER EMPLOYER IS ON THEIR OWN. WE DO KNOW OVER 60% OF EMPLOYERS DO OFFER SOME FORM OF BEREAVEMENT LEAVE . IT IS TYPICALLY THREE TO FIVE DAYS AS YOU MENTIONED. WE DO SEE OTHER EMPLOYERS, PARTICULARLY EMPLOYERS LIKE ADOBE OR META, THEY OFFER FOUR, SOMETIMES FIVE WEEKS OF BEREAVEMENT LEAVE. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE ISN'T JUST THE RIGHT THE SMART THING TO DO. THERE IS A LOT OF STUDIES AND DATA SHOWING OFFERING BEREAVEMENT LEAVE, HAVING THOSE POLICIES IN PLACE THAT SUPPORT EMPLOYEE , EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, MENTAL WELL-BEING IS TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE EMPLOYER. THERE IS HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY, LOYALTY, ALL OF THAT CONNECTS TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION WHICH DIRECTLY BENEFITS THE EMPLOYER. >> IT CAN GO HAND-IN-HAND, ALL OF IT. IT IS STILL INTERESTING TO ME, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A POLICY IN PLACE THAT ANYBODY , I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT MY WORST LOSS EVER HAPPENING BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE FIVE DAYS. WHAT IS THE RIGHT STRATEGY ? IS IT HAVING POLICY, BEING UNDERSTANDING EMPLOYER, IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER ? DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEAS? >> IT IS THE HUMAN ASPECT. SHOWING SOME SORT OF COMPASSION , ASKING HOW THEY ARE DOING, REALLY INQUIRING AND CARING. YOU CAN TELL WHEN SOMEONE CARES AND WHEN THEY DON'T. IT REALLY DOES HELP AND MAKES YOU MORE LOYAL EMPLOYEE AS WELL AND MAKES IT SO YOU CAN GO BACK . >> TO HOLLY'S POINT, I DON'T KNOW HOW PRODUCTIVE YOU CAN BE FOR YOUR EMPLOYER. IS A YOUR EMPLOYER ANY FAVORS TO BE BACK TO WORK THREE DAYS AFTER A MAJOR LOSS? YOU WERE PRIOR TO THAT. >> WE MENTIONED AT THE TOP TWO ALSO MENTIONED, OPTION B ROLLING OUT RECOMMENDATIONS TO SHARE INCLUDING MORE PERSONAL TIME OFF ARE ALSO ALLOWING PEOPLE TO TAKE NONCONSECUTIVE LEAVE WITH THOSE DAYS OFF, WHICH IS A GREAT IDEA. BECAUSE GRIEF CAN BE NONLINEAR AS YOU MENTIONED. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT POLICY TO HAVE IT EXTEND WHEN YOU NEED IT ? I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. AS WE LOOK AT TODAY, THE GRIEVING PROCESS DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN IN CONCENTRATED AMOUNT OF TIME. IT GOES IN PHASES, IT CAN, MUCH LATER DOWN THE ROAD. MANAGERS IN PARTICULAR HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON THE EMPLOYEES AND IF IT SEEMS LIKE EMPLOYEES NEED EXTRA TIME FIGURING OUT WAYS TO CREATE FLEXIBILITY WHETHER IT IS USING OTHER PTO OR 610 TO BE FLEXIBLE FOR THAT EMPLOYEE CAN BE A GAME CHANGER, NOT JUST FOR THE EMPLOYEE THAT THE BUSINESS. >> YOU BOTH TALKED ABOUT LOSS PERSONALLY, IF THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY OR SOMETHING BENEFICIAL, DO YOU THINK? >> YES. >> MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. >> THE ANSWER IS YES. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO, AS EMPLOYERS, PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE, DATES, ANNIVERSARY DATES. THOSE ARE REALLY BIG AND FIX IT, ALWAYS. IT MAKES YOU GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BUT NOT COMPLETELY, -- >> TIME DOES NOT NECESSARILY HEAL THE WOUND BUT YOU NEED THE SUPPORT. THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT CONVERSATION. YOU CAN NEVER HIDE ANYTHING. YOU TWO, WHICH I LOVE ABOUT YOU. ALWAYS A GOOD CONVERSATION. STILL WORK TO BE DONE BUT I'M GLAD WE OUT THE UNQUALIFIED THERAPIST ON SPOTIFY, APPLE MUSIC, AMAZON, INTERESTED IN CAREER COACHING SERVICES AND
