When suicide loss touches a workplace, employees do not need leaders to have perfect words. They need leaders to show up. In this episode of _At Work, Under Pressure_, Jessi Beyer sits down with Monica Tomchick of UniBank to talk about suicide loss, grief, workplace response, HR preparedness, parenting through family mental health history, and why organizations need more than a gift card when something devastating happens. Monica shares personal and professional experiences with suicide loss, including the death of her children’s father and a workplace suicide at a healthcare facility where employees were left trying to process grief, guilt, shock, and unanswered questions. She also reflects on how different workplaces responded to bereavement, why grief is not linear, and how she has equipped her own children with language for depression and mental health before they need it. In this episode, Jessi and Monica discuss: • How suicide loss creates complicated grief, guilt, and “why didn’t I see it?” questions • Why organizations need a crisis response plan before workplace suicide happens • What Monica wishes her workplace had done differently after an employee suicide • Why imperfect presence is often more powerful than polished corporate response • How bereavement policies can fail employees when grief does not follow a timeline • Why families need to talk about depression and mental health before a crisis • How leaders can support employees by listening, showing up quickly, and bringing in the right help This episode is for HR professionals, managers, executives, people leaders, and anyone responsible for supporting employees after loss, trauma, suicide, or serious mental health crisis. Because grief does not care about your five-day leave policy. And people remember who showed up.
