Addiction is a hidden workplace epidemic, costing employers billions of dollars in increased absenteeism and health care costs, as well as costs associated with productivity and workplace safety.
Stigma toward substance use is a leading barrier to people seeking help and to workplaces supporting employees with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) through treatment and recovery. Employers have a pivotal role to play in this epidemic, as over 70% of people with SUDs are employed.
That’s why the National Safety Council partnered with national nonprofit Shatterproof to give employers, HR professionals and supervisors the resources they need to address stigma in the workplace and ensure employees know they are supported.
