The scale of it
Grief is already in your organisation
Enter your headcount. These aren't projections, this is what the UK averages say is happening in your workforce today.
employees will be bereaved this year
are grieving at work right now, about 1 in 8
are experiencing intense grief this year
are supporting grieving children at home while grieving themselves
were bereaved in the last month, and are functioning at roughly 25% of normal capacity
what unsupported grief could already be costing you each year
Figures derived from Sue Ryder's Grief in the Workplace research (2021), Marie Curie (2021) and MetLife. The "grieving right now" figure applies a six-month impact window to annual incidence.
Our solution
One platform, supporting the whole family
Memory Robin is one platform that brings memory capture, grief support and activities for children and families into a single place. Each interface has its own role, and they stay connected, so the family moves through grief together rather than apart.
Memory Robin
Captures and safely stores an employee and their family's memories, photos, stories and voice notes in one secure place, while also providing guidance and support.
Guardian Robin
Gives the grieving employee, and the adults around a grieving child, practical guidance and their own grief support, so they are steadier at home and at work.
Pocket Robin
Extends support to the children at home, age-appropriate and neurodiversity-aware, reaching the whole family not just an individual employee.
Not every loss involves a child, and not every family looks the same. Memory Robin offers full end-to-end support when children are grieving, and works just as naturally adult to adult: a partner, an adult child, a sibling or a friend capturing and holding memories, and finding grief support, for one another.
The platform flexes to whoever is present. The three Robins turn on and off around the family, so the same benefit meets a lone adult grieving a partner and a whole household grieving, without you needing to buy or signpost anything different.
The workplace case
What changes when you support the whole family
A grieving employee recovers at the pace their family does.
A steadier return to work
When the children are held too, the employee isn't carrying the whole family alone. They come back more able to focus, and stay back. Today, 43% of bereaved employees say they felt pressured to return to work before they were ready, only to unravel weeks later.
Marie Curie, 2021
Less long-term absence & presenteeism
Unsupported grief leaks into work as missed days and hours spent present but unable to function. Presenteeism alone costs UK employers £16bn a year, and employees experiencing intense grief take an average of 22 days off in the first six months. Support that continues at home, out of hours and for as long as it's needed reduces both.

Loyalty that outlasts the loss
People never forget how they were treated at their worst moment. 56% of employees, rising to 77% of those aged 18 to 34, would consider leaving an employer that failed to support them through a bereavement. Standing beside an employee's whole family builds the kind of trust no perk can buy.

Real coverage, not a leaflet
Over 40% of bereaved adults who wanted formal support never received any, and a third of bereaved employees don't even use the EAP they already have. A benefit the whole family actually opens and returns to turns a policy on paper into support people genuinely use.

A visible culture of care
95% of employees say bereavement-related benefits are valuable to them, yet few employers plan to expand support. Supporting families through bereavement is a clear, human signal about how your organisation treats people, one that strengthens your talent, wellbeing and ESG story.
Empathy, 2026
Managers who feel less alone
Only 17% of managers feel very confident supporting a bereaved colleague, and nearly a quarter of employees wouldn't feel comfortable raising it with their manager at all. Memory Robin gives the family somewhere trusted to turn, so support doesn't rest on a manager guessing their way through it.
