Yes, I belief if HR talk with grieved employees that minimize the anxiety. As HR is a guardian of employees and always defend them what they want to say in any events. For example, a few days ago, I got the problem of a employees about attendence then I invited to him what is his problem. I got that was the personal anxiety, I suggest him how to reduce the anxiety or stress. After few days, he told me that suggestion help him lot.

Yes.  It is important for HR to listen to grieved employees to understand their concerns.  It helps the management not only in boosting the morale of a grieved employee but also to improve the employer-employee relations.  This practice inculcate a sense of belonging among the employees which in turn will result in improved  efficiency and productivity.

Studies show that talking helps reducing anxeity. I tried it once and it helped greatly. If the employee felt that the company really cares it improves their effeciency on the long run.
