A further 16% have either taken, or known a colleague who has taken, sick leave following the stress of a break-up, while 15% said a separation or divorce had a negative impact on productivity in the workplace.
The research, commissioned by family law, not-for-profit group Resolution, said this all results in businesses in Britain suffering.
Yet despite how relationship breakdowns can negatively impact on the workplace, just 10% of respondents felt their employers offer adequate support for someone going through a break up. 34% said that more needed to be done, however.
Jo Edwards, National Chair of Resolution, commented: "It can be easy to forget that sometimes things going on outside of work have a profound effect on what happens within it, as these figures show.
"With workers across Britain seeing a notable impact on productivity, taking sick leave, or even leaving their jobs altogether, divorce and separation is an issue that bosses need to take seriously and look out for the warning signs.
"There are over two million small businesses (i.e. those with less than 50 employees) in Britain – for those firms, losing just one member of staff, even for a short amount of time, can have a huge impact on productivity, and on the other people that work there."
