The Separation Guide

Our CEO Angela Harbinson spoke with NewsCorp about the rise in grey divorce for those over 45 years of age. “What we’re seeing is that relationship breakdown doesn’t necessarily happen at the point when life is at its most chaotic – sometimes it happens when people finally have enough space to stop and ask whether the life they’ve built is still the life they want.”

We are incredibly proud to share that The Separation Guide won Innovator of the Year - Best ESG Program in the inaugural HR Innovation Awards. 🏆 Our employer wellbeing program and and triaging Q&A has supported over 46,000 people and generated $9.6 billion in social impact. We are excited to be working with even more employers offering this impactful separation support program to their people during one of the most disruptive times in their life. Honoured to be taking the win and grateful for the incredible support from our team and network members.

We’re proud to share that The Separation Guide has been named a finalist in the HR Innovation Awards for Social Impact.

This recognition shines a spotlight on an issue that remains largely invisible in workplace wellbeing conversations: relationship breakdown.

It is widely recognised that separation and divorce are among life’s most stressful events. Yet for many employees, the personal, financial and legal challenges that follow can have a significant impact on mental health, productivity, absenteeism and workplace engagement.

Since launching, The Separation Guide has generated an estimated $9.6 billion in social impact by helping individuals navigate separation with less cost, less conflict and less confusion.

By providing early support, trusted information and practical pathways forward, we’re helping people make better decisions during one of the most challenging periods of their lives.

As employers increasingly focus on preventative wellbeing strategies, relationship breakdown remains one of the most overlooked drivers of workforce risk and disruption. It’s a $35 billion dollar per year cost to workplaces that can no longer be ignored.

Supporting employees through major life events isn’t just good for people - it delivers meaningful benefits for organisations, insurers and the broader community.

Our CEO, Angela Harbinson, will be in Sydney next week attending the HR Innovation Summit and Awards Dinner. If you’re attending and would like to learn more about how proactive separation support can strengthen employee wellbeing, reduce risk and improve outcomes, we’d love to connect.

Congratulations to all finalists, and thank you to the HR Innovation Awards judges for recognising the importance of this work.

Celebrating International Women’s Day with the lovely team at yesterday. Listening to their team of family lawyers, conveyancers and wills and estate lawyers, one message came through very clearly. Big life moments like separating, buying a house or setting up a will are stressful and having legal advice to understand your options is the best way to take some of the stress out of all the thoughts, unknowns and fears flying around in your head.
