Widely regarded as a solitary reality of life, death is considered to invoke wide ranging human emotions deeply entrenched in the foundations of sorrow and grief. Comprehending the need for robust legislations and policies to regulate the adverse implications of the phenomenon of bereavement on employees at workplace, an empirical study was undertaken across 8 Corporate Houses in India covering a sample respondent-base of 64 individuals. Apart from the key findings and the recommendations for overcoming the identified critical areas of concern, the paper provides a brief account of its purpose, rationale and the plausible contributions that it might make towards the broader domain of Human Resource Development.
