Assessments
Have you thought of the state of your employees’ Substance Use Health? Workplaces traditionally look at workplace health from an occupational health and safety perspective, with more recent considerations around mental health. Substance Use Health continues be left out of the conversation.
What is often overlooked is that 78% of people living in Canada use substances and substance use resulted in $22.4 billion in lost productivity in 2020. Most of those costs related to people who simply use substances, not those at the far-end of the spectrum living with substance use disorders. Adopting a Substance Use Health framework into your organization’s policies and practices is vital to a healthy, productive workplace.
