In the wake of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, workers in firms across the country are struggling to deal with the emotional turmoil they are experiencing. The result has been an increase in requests for reduced schedules, increased reluctance to accept overseas assignments or go on business trips, and in some cases refusal to return to work in high profile buildings. This has led many companies to provide counseling for workers and their families, set aside grieving spaces, and bring in grief management specialists.
