7 golden tips when your employee is going through a divorce

Know your employee. Know what is happening, also at home, so you can provide timely support.
Listen to your colleague and acknowledge the (emotional) situation, whilst keeping the helicopter view.
Help your colleague structure work and time.
Stimulate your colleague to take good care of him/herself by for example eating healthy food and exercise.
Co-create an appropriate (temporary) plan for working hours to allow your colleague time to visit a lawyer/mediator.
Offer your employee (professional) support in the emotional process of divorce – if necessary co-fund.
Even if your colleague indicates (s)he does not need guidance, negative emotions can be present. Make sure to continue to check in.
