I don't say that to brag or boast, I just say that because, like you, I'm blessed and I had a lot of people who cared about me and did stick by me right.
Imagine working at a company that genuinely cares about your well-being, even when you're facing the toughest battles of your life. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Jeff Hale, an Employee Support Specialist at Ford Motor Company, opens up about the comprehensive support systems Ford has in place to help employees tackle addiction. Jeff's role isn't just a job; it's a lifeline for many who struggle with substance abuse.
From fitness centers to educational programs on addiction and recovery, Ford provides a range of resources aimed at fostering a healthier, more supportive work environment. Jeff collaborates closely with union stewards and committee members to ensure that employees are aware of their rights and feel empowered to seek help. One of the biggest hurdles in addiction recovery is the stigma that surrounds it. Many people hesitate to ask for help out of fear of being judged or ostracized.
Jeff addresses this head-on, emphasizing that addiction is a disease and recovery is possible with the right support. Drawing from his own experience of being sober for several years, Jeff highlights the importance of building a strong support system and having open conversations about addiction with family and loved ones. This episode offers a hopeful look at how a major corporation like Ford is actively working to break down barriers of shame and stigma around addiction.
Jeff's insights and personal journey provide invaluable advice for anyone grappling with addiction or looking to support someone who is. Tune in to hear how Ford Motor Company is making a difference in the lives of its employees, one step at a time.
