Supporting your employees through challenging life transitions like divorce and a relationship breakdown.
Breakups have a huge impact on productivity in the workspace.
Together with the legal and financial implications that occur after the end of the relationship, employees suffer stress and anxiety and find it hard to remain focused on their work and this can be problematic.
With around 46% of marriages ending in divorce, it is becoming increasingly important for businesses to provide the necessary support to their staff who may be experiencing family breakups in order to maintain office morale and productivity. The stress and anxiety are amplified greatly if child access arrangements are uncertain.
Divorce reduces your employee productivity by 40% for a period of
3 years.
23% of employees who went through a divorce or separation had to take sick or unpaid leave.
Reduces co-worker productivity by 4% and line manager productivity by 2.5%
Employee retention – almost 1 in 10 leave the company within the first year post- divorce.
WHY DO YOUR EMPLOYEES
NEED DIVORCE SUPPORT
The pandemic caused a massive spike in divorces, an increase of 13.6% from the previous year. Managers need the training to be able to support their employees through challenging times. Managers are stressed when faced with these situations and are unable to show authentic empathetic leadership as a result. They need the appropriate training. Human issues like relationship breakdowns, family violence, and stress are now openly discussed in the workplace, so managers must know what to say.
