Addiction is a chronic and often misunderstood disease that can have a significant impact on not only the lives of the individuals suffering, but also their workplaces.

Addiction can take many forms, from drugs and alcohol to gambling and gaming, and it can affect individuals of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. However, by creating a workplace culture of support, providing access to treatment and recovery options, and addressing stigma and education, we can work towards a more compassionate and effective approach to addressing addiction in the workplace.

This panel will explore the critical issue of supporting addiction in the workplace, and the importance of creating a supportive and compassionate workplace culture for employees struggling with addiction.

During this session, panelists will share their insights and experiences on how employers can effectively support employees with addiction and create a safe and inclusive workplace culture. They will share examples of successful addiction support programs and initiatives, including Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), peer support groups, and access to addiction treatment and resources. They will also discuss the importance of reducing stigma around addiction and promoting open and honest communication between employers and employees.

This panel is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about how to effectively support addiction in the workplace and create a supportive and compassionate workplace culture. Whether you are a business owner, HR professional, or employee, you will gain valuable insights and practical tips for promoting employee wellbeing and creating a safe and inclusive workplace environment.
