Our At Work Programs: Purpose and Objectives

Our At Work programs have several key objectives. Not only is 40% of absenteeism in the workplace related to substance abuse, but 10% of employees experience addictions from either alcohol, drugs or gambling. An individual who is dependent on an addictive substance is also five times more likely than a non-dependent individual to make a worker’s compensation claim.

At Newgate 180, we aim to support your manager in providing the help you need to keep you and other substance dependent employees productive, ensure they return to work feeling healthy and well, reduce workplace injuries that may occur as a result of substance abuse, and reduce the number of worker’s compensation claims. Our program also covers the following topics:

• Removing the stigma of addiction
• Providing an understanding of what addiction is and how it is caused
• Early detection and treatment
• Minimizing the costs related to addiction
• Reducing time off
• Mitigating friction and theft between employees
• Keeping disability claims low
• And much more

Our focus is to help manage mental health issues and addictions in the workplace. We offer training for employers, managers and union representatives including:

• Behavioural Change Facilitation – Training for facilitating behavioural change encompasses sharing how motivation can lead to behavioural change and the best ways to bring out motivation in an employee or other employees with a dependency. This can also involve sharing information on intervention and much more.

• Developing Policies – Policy development methods involve sharing how to formulate procedures related to the At Work program objectives, as well as how to develop addiction policy standards that are compatible with out program.
