This session brings the substance use disorder and alcohol themes together into one discussion. Substance use remains one of the least discussed workplace issues, even as the evidence and social norms around alcohol and cannabis continue to shift. The focus will be less on recognizing that a problem exists and more on understanding what an employer does next.
The conversation will explore:
- What employers should know about alcohol and cannabis and when use becomes a workplace concern
- How to recognize potential concerns and approach difficult conversations with compassion
- Privacy, accommodation, and the responsibilities HR teams need to consider
- How to make the most of existing benefits, EAP resources, and other available supports
Join us for an open and practical conversation with experienced workplace professionals and peers about supporting employees while navigating the complexities of substance use.
