POWER LUNCH: The Impact of Divorce on the Workplace
The Impact of Divorce on the Workplace
Dealing with Non-Work-Related Personal Conflict and Poor Mental Health in the Workplace
Presented by:
Divorce Solution
Divorce can be one of the most stressful, emotional and potentially destructive experiences in a person's life. This personal upheaval can also ripple into the workplace in various ways, which we will endeavor to explore, and discuss the possible impact of divorce on the workplace.
The subject matter of the presentation is to help recognize and discuss how to deal with the impact of divorce on the workplace concerning:
-
The physiological and psychological effects of poor mental health of the person and their coworkers, brought on by divorce.
-
Decreased Productivity: Employees may have difficulty concentrating on work, meeting deadlines, or completing tasks efficiently, all of which is problematic for the employee and employer alike.
-
Increased Problems of Presenteeism: where employees are physically present but not fully functioning due to distractions from personal situations. This not only affects work performance but safety risks as well.
-
Negative Attitude: Going through a divorce can cause negative emotions that spill over into the workplace, leading to conflicts or decreased morale among coworkers.
-
Supportive Measures by Employers: How employers can support employees going through a divorce.
