Addiction in the Workplace: Managing the fallout
Listen now
Description
Episode #97 // Many people suffer from addictions, and they don't check them in at the door when they turn up to work each day - their choice is to either function through their dysfunction, or lose their job. How should we, as leaders, handle incidences of addiction in our people? What are the boundaries we should maintain, and how much slack should we cut people who suffer from these issues? We look at why no team is immune to the effects of addiction, the link between substance abuse and impairment, and the role of social culture in the workplace. This is an incredibly tricky topic, so if this brings up anything for you, please reach out to one of the many organisations who can help such as Lifeline.
