2020 Membership Luncheon: Creating A Recovery-Friendly Workplace

Join the Southeast Kentucky Chamber for a membership luncheon featuring Ashley McCarty, Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center employment specialist, at noon on Thursday, February 6 at Mr. Gatti's Pizza in Pikeville. 
Kentucky’s business community has become actually aware in recent years that the state’s addiction epidemic is more than a public health issue. It has become a serious workforce issue, and employers are feeling its impact firsthand. As businesses struggle to find and retain workers, the opioid crisis is making the challenges even greater for HR leaders.
Join this session to better understand how Substance Use Disorder (SUD) could be impacting your workforce, and compare your current policies and practices to today’s emerging opportunities in the areas of workplace hiring, treatment, recovery and prevention. Come learn how maintaining a drug free workplace while supporting a recovery friendly culture is not just possible, it can net positive results to the bottom line for your organization.
