How Nationwide Insurance Tackles Substance Use in the Workplace
“We try to make it as private and reasonable as possible with the person so that they don't feel attacked, they don't feel that we're looking down upon them.”
Imagine a workplace where employees are supported, not just for their professional skills, but also in their journey towards a healthier life. This episode of Cover2 Resources dives into how Nationwide Insurance is addressing substance use disorder among its workforce. Host Greg McNeil sits down with Kathleen Herath, AVP of Well-Being and Safety, and Robert Hardin-Leeth, Director of Safety, to discuss their comprehensive Substance-Free Workplace Program.
This initiative isn't just about random drug testing; it also includes counseling, intervention, and educational components to ensure employees get the help they need. With the opioid epidemic costing America billions and affecting workplace productivity, Nationwide's approach offers a model for other companies to follow. Kathleen and Robert share practical tips on implementing second chance policies and highlight the importance of creating a supportive work environment.
If you're curious about how businesses can play a role in tackling substance use while maintaining a productive workforce, this episode is a must-listen.
