Substance Use in the Workplace: Implications and Recommendations
DATE: | September 27th 2017 |

CHAPTER: | Webinar |
LANGUAGE: | English |
Employers are increasingly challenged with difficult decisions on how to address issues of substance use in the workplace, including balancing public safety, employee productivity, human rights compliance, and providing effective and appropriate employee support among others. Proposed legislation to legalize cannabis has created an area of uncertainty as employers and employees attempt to discern between medical and recreational use and the impact on fitness for duty.
In response to increased demand from employers, practitioners, and other stakeholders wanting more information on, and knowledge of how to address, substance use affecting the workplace, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) conducted a broad study to better understand the issue and make recommendations.
This webinar will set the context of substance use and the workplace. The CCSA presenters will then discuss the findings from the study, which included an environmental scan of current policies, national survey, and key informant interviews. The discussion will finish with suggestions on how to apply some of the knowledge gained from the study in the workplace and ways to move forward.

Moncton Chapter - Managing Marijuana & Other Substance Use and Abuse in the Workplace
DATE: | November 21st 2017 |
8:00 am to 12:30 pm |
CHAPTER: | Moncton |
LANGUAGE: | English |
All employers want a healthy and safe workplace. Safety at work can be negatively impacted by many factors, not the least of which is substance abuse. While 10% of the population self-identifies as having an active addiction, the reality of use is much higher and presents a real and present concern in the workplace. Drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace leads to injuries, decreased morale and lost time, to name a few. Employers’ costs related to human resources and health and medical benefits increase substantially, and the negative effect on employees impacts productivity and profitability in countless ways.
With the availability of medically authorized cannabis for medical purposes and with legalization of marijuana legislation just around the corner, Human Resource Professionals are being asked to ensure proper policies and programs are in place to address workplace health and safety concerns – for all employees. Senior Leadership as well as employees will be looking to HR to guide them when substance use/abuse issues arise. What we do and how we do it will set precedent and needs to be established using logical processes reflective of best practices.

Myths and facts: Suicide Prevention in the Workplace
DATE: | November 29th 2017 |
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm |
CHAPTER: | Webinar |
LANGUAGE: | English |
Does the state of the economy affect the suicide rate?
I’m concerned about my colleague at work…what should I say?
I’m stressed out at work and not sure I can take much more…
Research tells us that there is a direct 0.79% correlation between the unemployment rate and the rate of suicide deaths. We also know that 70% of all suicide deaths in Canada are among working aged adults (ages 30-64).
The Mental Health Commission of Canada alerts us that businesses in Canada lost $6 billion in productivity costs to due to poor mental health in 2011. The human costs are equally as severe: stress, anxiety, absenteeism, loss of productivity, substance abuse, sick leave, strain on other colleagues, short-term disability and more.
Centre for Suicide Prevention works with corporate and public sector partners to educate and train employees and teams on simple steps for suicide awareness and prevention in the workplace.
Join us for this webinar focusing on the myths and facts of suicide, the costs and impact of suicide, warning signs, and how to respond after the death of a colleague. This webinar will also provide details about the Centre for Suicide Prevention’s education services and information resources available to all organizations across Canada. Content will feature our newest toolkit publication, “The workplace and suicide prevention”, available as a free resource on Centre for Suicide Prevention’s website.

Marijuana in the Workplace: What’s the Diagnosis?
DATE: | December 5th 2017 |
1:30 pm to 3:00 pm |
CHAPTER: | Webinar |
LANGUAGE: | English |
A key component of the Federal Liberal party’s election mandate was the legalization of recreational marijuana. While it is believed that a fully functional legislative and regulatory scheme ending the prohibition of cannabis will not be ready for some time, the prospects of legalized cannabis in the workplace has some companies feeling more than a little dazed and confused. But cannabis, at least in some instances, is already legal and is already in our workplaces. In fact, in 2014 it was estimated that there were 40,000 people in Canada with valid “authorizations to possess” – a number that has been growing rapidly. All of this begs the question: what are the risks and challenges that cannabis presents to the workplace in a changing legislative and cultural landscape?
