As a nation, we continue to learn about the impact of the Opioid Overdose Epidemic on our families, communities, and WORKFORCE. Particularly as the pipeline for workplace talent continues to be tight, employers can help to attract and retain valuable workers by creating a culture that is relevant to today’s workforce – especially for Millennial and GenZ workers – and that demonstrates an awareness of how families in Orange County have been impacted by the Opioid Overdose Epidemic, and how we can help support those in recovery. Through Project Opioid and the Recovery Ready Workforce Toolkit, learn about easy and practical steps you can take to create an environment that supports health and wellness, as well as how to adopt national standards and policies.
What is Recovery Ready Workplace?
