The benefits to the workplace, to the safety, to the costs, to the ability to save lives and change behavior is bigger than the risk of not doing it.
Picture this: an office where employees feel genuinely safe to discuss their struggles with addiction or mental health. Sounds ideal, right? In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with Bob Poznanovich, Vice President of Business Development at Hazelden Betty Ford, to unpack how addiction can infiltrate the workplace and what can be done about it.
They dive into the nitty-gritty of how addiction and mental health issues don't discriminate by job title or salary, affecting everyone from the mailroom to the boardroom. Bob and William explore the real impact on both employees and the company's bottom line. It's not just about lost productivity or increased healthcare costs—it's about human lives. Bob shares practical strategies for fostering a supportive work environment where employees feel safe to seek help. He emphasizes that a cultural shift is essential.
Leadership plays a crucial role in setting the tone, from offering comprehensive coverage for addiction and mental health services to creating an atmosphere of acceptance and support. One key takeaway? Addressing these issues head-on is far less risky than ignoring them. Bob makes a compelling case for why investing in employee wellness isn't just the right thing to do—it's also good business.
By the end of the episode, you'll be armed with actionable insights on how to create a culture of wellness that benefits everyone. So, if you're a manager, HR professional, or just someone interested in making your workplace a better place, this episode is a must-listen.
