I think people, for the most part, that are in the workforce they understand that organizations would much prefer that they get help and that they get assistance than continue on with whatever serious problem they might have.
Ever wondered how workplaces can better support employees struggling with addiction and mental health issues? This episode of The JourneyPure Podcast dives into that very topic with John Tuttle, a licensed clinical social worker and retired EAP (Employee Assistance Program) lead manager. With over three decades of experience, John brings a treasure trove of knowledge about substance abuse in the workplace and practical solutions to address it.
Throughout the conversation, John sheds light on the crucial role EAPs play in providing resources and support for employees battling addiction and mental health challenges. He highlights the importance of creating an environment where seeking help is encouraged rather than stigmatized. One standout moment in the episode is John's discussion on how Corporate America can take proactive steps to support their workforce, emphasizing that offering assistance is far more beneficial than ignoring the issue.
As John aptly puts it, 'It gives me purpose, so that on any typical week, I feel like I'm still productive and I'm still doing some productive, professional things'. Tune in to hear John's valuable insights and learn how you can foster a healthier, more supportive workplace.
