How to Deal with Workplace Changes: When a Coworker Leaves

Course overview

Losing a coworker is tough, especially when you've bonded and become friends. When the decision to leave was not theirs, it makes it even more difficult. Maybe you're not sure where to put your loyalty. Maybe you're unsure of your own job security. Maybe you experience survivor's guilt if you avoided a layoff. There can be a lot of emotions involved, so let's talk about how to manage those feelings. In this course, we'll discuss the importance of acknowledging your feelings, getting back into a routine, and offering resources to your former coworker. We'll also go over gossip and how to avoid it, and what to do when someone new is hired.
