THE BETTERLEAVE DIFFERENCE

A platform designed to help you support employees navigating serious illness and bereavement

Improve wellbeing & retention

Replacing an employee costs 50%-200% of their salary (SHRM). Help employees navigate end-of-life, grief and bereavement reducing stress and burnout.

Boost productivity

Grieving employees lose ~30 workdays per year due to absenteeism (National Council for Palliative Care). Structured support minimizes absenteeism and helps employees return to work stronger.

Reduce healthcare spend

A bereavement support program can reduce mental health claims by 10-20%, saving $1,000+ per employee per year in healthcare costs.

"As a longtime HR leader, I considered myself an expert on benefit programs. I directed HR for a tech company in Austin, after all. My job was helping other employees navigate through crises in their own lives—and I prided myself in doing this work well.

Then, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. There’s nothing quite like a personal crisis to show you just how much more you have to learn."
