Divorce Support Programs for Organizations

The average cost of divorcing employees to an organization has been estimated at over $83,000 per year*. With nearly half of marriages ending in divorce, it's a hidden business cost that few organizations deal with effectively. The Smart Divorce can help.

Divorce ranks second only to the death of a spouse or child on a scale of stressful life events. It can spill into the workplace as lost time, more frequent errors, and suppressed creativity. Angry employees may even project it onto co-workers or customers.

While many under stress do seek counseling, therapists are only equipped to help patients with the emotional side. Yet the complex practicalities such as the legal process, financial impact or custody issues also impact the individual's personal and business life.

Through a tailored program that can include Events and Professional Development, our One-on-One Coaching for individual employees, our acclaimed book The Smart Divorce, and our comprehensive The Smart Divorce ToolKit, The Smart Divorce helps ease employees through this difficult, all-too-common situation by educating them to effectively manage the divorce process -- while staying mindful at the workplace.

Let our value-added Smart Divorce employee program help your people move forward with focus, hope and confidence, so they can contribute more productively to their job. It can pay dividends for both your organization and your employee.
