Title: Thriving Beyond Treatment: Helping Employees Transition Back to Work
Date and Time: March 9th, 2021. Group introductions begin at 11:30 am; presentation will commence at noon PST.
Speaker: Fay Zenoff
Objectives:
- Participants will be able to recognize the four groups of employees most impacted by SUDs.
- Participants will be able to identify the five key areas within organizations that pose the most challenges to employees returning to work after treatment.
- Participants will be able to utilize the eight dimensions of wellness to help clients access and integrate recovery into all areas of well-being.
Goals:
- Broaden participants' understanding of recovery from that of an individual's therapeutic process to that of an organization's strategic priority to improve health, safety and performance across the workforce.
- Expand participants’ ability to identify, support and strengthen the recovery of employees and colleagues impacted by SUDs.
- Increase participants’ engagement in shifting culture, policy and management practices to support the creation of recovery-conducive work environments.
Description: The numbers of employees adversely impacted by substance use disorders is far greater than the percentage of workers pro-actively seeking help from their companies’ HR and/or EAP departments. Moving beyond the crisis-intervention model of treatment, Fay Zenoff offers insight into identifying, engaging and supporting employees who are navigating SUDs-related challenges. Fay’s integrative approach to recovery invites participants to expand their approach to positively impacting the lives of individual clients at all stages on the addiction-recovery continuum as well influence improved health and well-being across the broader organization. This presentation will be educational and interactive.
