expr = (w = 882)/(s^2 + 2*z*w*s + w^2);
re = Re[ComplexExpand[expr, s]] //
Simplify[#, Element[z, Reals]] &;
im = Im[ComplexExpand[expr, s]] //
Simplify[#, Element[z, Reals]] &;
expr == re + I*im // FullSimplify
True
Using a concrete example
s2 = RandomComplex[] // Rationalize[#, 0] &;
re2 = re /. s -> s2 //
Simplify[#, Element[z, Reals]] &;
im2 = im /. s -> s2 //
Simplify[#, Element[z, Reals]] &;
(expr /. s -> s2) == re2 + I*im2 // Simplify
True
