Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Communicating the need for employees to get back to work immediately in order to get over bad emotions quickly may seem insensitive and unsympathetic to the tragic loss of the senior executives. Instead, it is important to provide support to the employees, help them grieve and cope with the loss, and communicate that the company will take necessary steps to recover from the loss in a respectful and humane manner. Therefore, option C is not the best choice. The other options, such as helping people look for meaning, expressing your own emotions, and reaching out to employees, are appropriate actions that can help the company recover from the loss.
