A British consultant in the helping professions, Thompson address one set of workplace problems that most management and human resource literature fail to discuss. Problems resulting from loss, grief, and trauma can rise within the workplace itself, he says, or can be imported into the work setting from employees' personal lives. He explores such aspects as the implications of terrorism, complications in grieving, traumatic events in the workplace, employment law responsibilities, staff care and workplace well-being, empowerment and growth, and the importance of community.
