Every year, people around the country use Dying Matters Awareness Week as a period to encourage all communities to talk about death in whatever way, shape or form works for them.

Organised by Hospice UK and taking place from May 6-12th, this year’s campaign,  ‘The way we talk about Dying Matters’, offers a unique opportunity for HR leaders to nurture open conversations around death and grief in the workplace, by emphasising the language used when addressing death, grief, and terminal illness.
