About the Webinar:
The stakes couldn’t be higher for business. Substance use costs Canadian employers 20 billion each year in lost productivity alone - pre-pandemic. Since then, many companies have navigated disrupted supply chains, lost valued employees and customers and accommodated parents split between their job and home-schooling. In an ideal world, returning employees would be at the top of their game. But the reality is 70 per cent of those struggling with substance use are employed, many of them go to great pains to hide it and only one in ten get help.
Which creates the ultimate dilemma for employers and plan sponsors: "How do I know that I need a substance use benefit if I can't see it?" Join the conversation with this panel of experts to learn about the signs, impacts and roadblocks surrounding substance use.
What you will learn:
- The signs and impacts of substance use in the workplace
- The most pervasive myths surrounding substance use
- Organizational benefits and strategies to change the conversation around substance use
