Drug and Alcohol: Support - Creating a Culture That Cares

Session 6: Support - Creating a Culture That Cares
Building support systems that help employees and protect your business

Wednesday, 13th May 2026 | 10:00-11:00

Policies and procedures are important, but support systems are what make them work. This final session explores how to create a workplace culture where employees feel safe to seek help, return to work successfully, and where your business benefits from reduced absence and improved retention.

What You'll Learn:

• Designing employee support pathways that actually get used
• Balancing compassion with business needs and safety requirements
• Working with external support services and treatment providers
• Return-to-work protocols that set everyone up for success
• Supporting managers who are managing affected employees
• Confidentiality, documentation, and legal considerations
• Preventing repeat incidents whilst maintaining dignity
• Measuring the ROI of your support programmes

Why This Matters:
Employees who know support is available are more likely to seek help early, reducing serious incidents. Businesses with strong support systems see better retention, fewer long-term absences, and reduced costs. Punishment alone doesn't work - support combined with clear boundaries does.

Perfect for: HR professionals, business leaders, managers, occupational health teams, and anyone responsible for employee wellbeing and workplace safety culture.
