Building Recovery-Friendly Workplaces: Transforming Businesses and Empowering Employees Kevin Hyer
What if your workplace could be a beacon of hope for employees struggling with addiction? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Kevin as he shares his transformative insights on Recovery-Friendly Workplaces (RFWs). Kevin explains how RFWs not only support employees on their recovery journey but also enhance productivity and reduce turnover. By fostering an environment where individuals in recovery can thrive, businesses can benefit from highly motivated employees who bring invaluable soft skills like gratitude, perseverance, and self-awareness. We also tackle the critical issue of addressing addiction openly in the workplace to break generational cycles and empower both businesses and families.
In this episode, we emphasize the importance of giving back during recovery and how businesses can play a pivotal role in this process. Kevin discusses the concept of paying it forward through a foundation that offers career hope and reduces workplace stigma. Learn how employers can benefit from hiring people in recovery, the necessity of corporate sponsorship to fund essential services, and practical steps businesses can take to show their commitment to supporting recovery. From creating employee resource groups to sourcing positions from rehab alumni programs, we explore the broader impact of addiction on employees with addicted family members and the potential for workplace education and support.
