For employers

Support your staff when they need it.

The death of a loved one is one of the hardest things your employees will face. Alongside grief comes months of paperwork — closing accounts, chasing companies, filling in forms — often squeezed in between nine and five.

Willow shoulders that burden, so your staff can return to work with a little less on their minds.

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services are great for mental health support, but they don't provide practical help for the admin that follows a death. Willow takes on the burden of notifying organisations, closing accounts and keeping track of what needs to happen, so your employees can return to work with slightly less on their minds.

56% of staff consider leaving an employer if they are poorly supported after a bereavement. Willow offers real support at a difficult time. This helps build trust and loyalty with your staff, while also reducing absenteeism and presenteeism that can follow a bereavement.

Willow is primarily aimed at staff who are bereaved after losing a loved one. However, it can also complement your existing death-in-service benefit by providing practical support to the families of employees who die during employment.
