Are you finding it difficult to navigate your divorce while maintaining your professional life? Here’s a glimpse of the key strategies we’ll be covering in our upcoming Family Law Now After Hours live event, “How to Cope with Your Divorce at Work”: 

  • Inform your employer by disclosing your situation to your supervisor if it impacts your performance. 
  • Set boundaries to avoid discussing personal issues with colleagues unless necessary. 
  • Manage time off by planning for court dates or appointments and communicating absences in advance. 
  • Stay focused by using work as a way to stay productive and maintain your routine. 
  • Practice self-care by taking breaks, eating healthily, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule. 
  • Lean on your support network and seek emotional support outside of work hours. 
  • Utilize workplace resources such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) if available. 
  • Avoid oversharing and maintain professionalism when discussing your divorce. 
  • Monitor stress levels to be mindful of burnout and take action to reduce it. 
  • Consider flexible arrangements by exploring options for remote work or adjusted hours if needed.
