Why HR Needs a Divorce Policy

We join The Lonely Office podcast as special guests to talk honestly about divorce, work and why companies still don’t support people through family change.

Aaron shares his story of lying in a job interview when asked if he was happily married. Just weeks into the role, he found himself navigating a new job, fatherhood and divorce all at once. It's a situation many face, yet divorce remains the only major life event that most employers still overlook.

We explore why so many people going through divorce stay silent, fearing office gossip or missed opportunities. We also look at what meaningful support should include, such as a confidential internal email that outlines who can help and how, along with small, stigma-free steps that make a big difference.

Offering support through divorce helps employees feel seen, valued and more likely to stay.
