If you attended a barbecue or block party this summer, chances are you were offered a drink. While alcohol is a part of many social settings and traditions, for more than 29 million Americans who are living with an alcohol use disorder and a growing population of people who simply want to reduce their intake, this can create a challenging situation. HR leaders and employers can help their employees balance personal health goals – like eliminating or reducing alcohol intake – with their personal and professional situations by offering easy access to resources and education. Thanks to HR Daily Advisor for sharing these tips for managing alcohol use, written by Health-E Commerce Senior Vice President of HR Jenna Everhart, PHR in collaboration with Oar Health founder Jonathan Hunt-Glassman. https://lnkd.in/gFAamH-m To learn more about FSA- and HSA-eligible telehealth services like Oar Health, visit HSA Store or FSA Store. #HealthECommerce #OarHealth #EmployeeBenefits #Wellbeing #AlcoholUse

Did you know that 4 in 5 employers don’t have alcohol in the workplace policies in place? Here is a new resource that can help. #ResponsibleDrinking #AlcoholAwareness #Workplacepolicies #Inclusiveworkplace
**4 in 5 employers don’t have alcohol in the workplace policies in place** We recently hosted an insightful discussion in partnership with The Work Foundation, chaired by journalist Courtney Kealy, looking at employee wellbeing in multigenerational workplaces. With an ever-changing workforce and evolving societal norms, we brought together leaders from across business, policy, trade unions, and academia, looking at the role of alcohol policies in the workplace and the importance of fostering positive and inclusive work cultures. Following our roundtable, the Work Foundation conducted an in-depth study and Survation Ltd polling revealed that although more than one third (34%) of employers believe staff socialising in person is important given the increase in hybrid working, only one fifth (11%) have alcohol policies on responsible consumption in the workplace. The Work Foundation report sets out clear recommendations to employers on how to create inclusive and positive workplace cultures: • Event labelling – change the description of events away from "drinks" to "socialising" • Alternative drinks – provide non-alcohol drinks alongside alcohol drinks • Event timings – host morning, lunch or afternoon gatherings to include those with caring responsibilities • Dietary requirements – ask about preferences for non-alcoholic drinks • Training – provide resources and tools to support effective alcohol in the workplace policies In response to the findings, IARD has launched new resources to inspire organizations to develop alcohol workplace policies. As global employers and responsible leaders, we have workplace alcohol policies embedded and we want to play our part promoting progressive work cultures based on inclusion and choice, whether employees choose to drink or not. You can visit the link in our comments to find IARD’s free online resources. We are grateful to our participants who took part in the roundtable including representatives from International Labour Organization, Eurofound, Benenden Health, Centre for Ageing Better, CIPD, The Educational and Community Response Centre, FEMSA Proximity Division (OXXO), The Foundation for Alcohol Related Research (FAAR), Loughborough University, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, PwC, and Acas. Thank you to Ben Harrison from The Work Foundation for co-chairing the event alongside our CEO Julian Braithwaite Find out more by following the link in the comments #ResponsibleDrinking #AlcoholAwareness #Workplacepolicies #Inclusiveworkplace
