Ever wondered how substance use disorder impacts the workplace? This episode of the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast tackles just that, with co-founders Marin Nelson and Ingrid Lindberg of Sobrynth sharing their mission to create recovery-friendly workplaces. Marin and Ingrid bring a wealth of experience to the table, from Marin's nationally recognised efforts at Salesforce to Ingrid's pioneering work in healthcare.
They discuss the challenges of addressing addiction in a corporate environment and the importance of creating supportive spaces for employees in recovery. Marin shares her personal journey into sobriety, which began at the age of 24, inspired by her father's own recovery. She highlights the often-overlooked impact of workplace culture on addiction, citing examples like virtual wine tastings during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Ingrid adds her perspective as a leader who once unwittingly contributed to a culture of alcohol use in corporate settings. Together, they stress the need for tangible support systems and compassionate leadership. The episode also dives into the staggering statistics surrounding substance use disorder in the workplace, including the economic costs and the high percentage of employed individuals affected. Marin and Ingrid argue that a recovery-friendly workplace isn't just about being kind—it's also good business sense.
Employees in recovery often have lower turnover rates, take fewer sick days, and are more productive. If you're looking to understand how to better support employees struggling with addiction or curious about creating a more inclusive and supportive work environment, this episode is a must-listen. Marin and Ingrid's insights could be the key to transforming your workplace culture for the better.
