The Impact of Divorce At Work

Approximately 10% of your team will experience relationship breakdown or go through divorce in any given year with significant impact on mental health, well-being and capacity - professionally and personally.

Reasonably well known are the effects of divorce on the individual in terms of mental health and well-being.

Less well known are the impacts it can have at work and more broadly for your organisation.

The statistics are staggering.

2023 data from the Australian Institute of Family Studies indicates that those going through separation and/or divorce are more likely to report decreased work productivity, missed workdays & higher stress levels.

The Impact of Divorce In The Workplace: Statistics

There is the obvious absenteeism to attend appointments & legal meetings, as well as significant presenteeism with: 

  • 90% report they feel they are not working as effectively

  • 61% say separation impacted their ability to concentrate & make decisions at work

  • 40% reduction in productivity

  • 10 - 17% leave their job directly due to their divorce (attrition that costs 1-1.5x salary to replace).

  • Average age 44 for females & 47 for males - likely to be senior managers & experienced team members

  • With flow on effects to other team members and the rest of the organisation

And all of that costs business, not to mention the human impact and cost at the centre. 

Specialised Support Is The Key Difference

Reflect Coaching provides expert, bespoke, specialised support for employees navigating separation or divorce, protecting & enhancing mental & emotional wellbeing.

A unique approach that goes beyond standard EAP services, and makes a critical difference to employees personal well-being as well as capacity to continue to thrive professionally.

Divorce causes significant stress & adversely affects mental health which, if left untreated costs Australian workplaces $10.9 billion / year 

$4.7 billion in absenteeism 

$6.1 billion in presenteeism. 

How this distinguishes you as an employer of choice

Send A Powerful Message To Your Employees by
providing access to specialised, confidential, practical & caring resources supporting them through divorce.

Most organisations offer EAP support, in traditional programs that tend to provide a generic, one-size-fits-all approach.

When it comes to separation & divorce, these services fail to address the very specific emotional, legal, & logistical challenges that employees face during such a personal & life-altering transition, all of which impact them at work as well as home.

Reflect Coaching is a specialised and holistic service, offering personalised, high-touch psycho-social, emotional and objective practical support, something the average EAP is not equipped to do.

Connection with a hand-picked, curated group of aligned specialised professionals including

  • Family Lawyers

  • Mediators & Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners

  • Financial Advisors & Planners

  • Forensic Accountants

  • Accountants

  • Real Estate Professionals - agents & advocates

To divorce with less drama & less impact - personally and professionally.

  • "We’ve referred Sallyanne to several of our corporate clients, where she’s assisted transitioning employees through separation, divorce and other stressful relationship stages.  Her services genuinely help staff to negotiate these difficult times, which in turn helps them get back on their feet faster and remain contributing employees.  Her service should be part of any employee wellness program."
