Description:
There is a common misconception that addiction and mental health disorders are easy to spot in the workplace. In reality, obvious cases are a rarity. We also know that there is a strong correlation between employer support and mental health, and in cases where employers are supportive, recovery rates can rise to 75-80%. Employers who are successful are those who are proactive in promoting their employees’ wellbeing. This includes comprehensive policy development, referral to high quality treatment, and thoughtful return-to-work planning. Learn from our speakers as they share their insights on developing and applying effective policies around mental health and addiction in the workplace. 

In this presentation, you will learn:

 

  • Identify common blindspots in policy development for mental health and addiction in the workplace
  • Learn from real-world examples of effective vs ineffective policy implementation
  • Get advice on how to address policy gaps

Who should attend:

 

  • Employers, HR professionals, senior management, and executives involved in workplace policy development, and who are invested in employee mental health.
