Summary

In the wake of a breakup, divorce, or domestic abuse, the workplace often becomes a silent battleground. While employees may be doing their best to keep things together, the reality is that the emotional and psychological effects of these situations are likely having a significant impact on their performance and wellbeing.

Recent statistics reveal a shocking truth:

21% of full-time employees have experienced domestic abuse.
 
74% of those affected reported harassment within the workplace.
 
More than 10% continue to experience abuse during work hours, often through abusive emails or phone calls.
 
88% said this affected their job performance, while 90% found it created tension with colleagues.
 
These numbers show how personal challenges such as breakup, divorce, or domestic abuse don’t stay confined to home—they impact every area of life, including the workplace. As someone with specialist training in breakup and divorce coaching, I have seen firsthand how the language, patterns, and emotional impact of these situations can seep into daily life. Without support, employees often feel isolated and unsure of how to set boundaries or seek help.
 
My focus as a coach is to help people navigate the difficult conversations that arise during times of emotional upheaval. Whether it’s creating effective boundaries with a former partner, managing the emotional fallout from a divorce, or dealing with the effects of domestic abuse, I equip individuals with the tools to take back control of their lives. But this isn’t just about individual coaching—businesses can play a vital role in this process too.
 
By working with organisations, teams, and businesses, I can help put structures in place that create an environment where staff feel safe to seek the support they need. This might be as simple as delivering a seminar that highlights the signs of domestic abuse or breakup-related stress, and showing employees that their organisation is aware and supportive. It can make all the difference to someone who feels isolated and is unsure where to turn. A seminar or workshop can also help signpost resources and services that can offer further specialist support, helping to ensure that your employees are well supported through these tough times.
 
If you are an employer, now is the time to act. When staff feel safe and supported, their productivity, wellbeing, and engagement improve. Ignoring these issues isn’t an option—it’s about creating a workplace that recognises the challenges people face and empowers them to ask for help without fear.
 
If you’re concerned about a member of your team who may be going through a difficult situation, book a call today to discuss how I can work with your organisation to provide the support and structures that make a real difference. Whether it’s through coaching, workshops, or creating a policy that acknowledges these challenges, we can work together to ensure that your workplace is a safe, supportive space for everyone.
