CEO, Founder at LifeSpeak Inc. (TSX: LSPK)

Substance use, especially alcohol use, is often overlooked when it comes to employee benefits and workplace wellbeing programs. Fortunately, social and cultural awareness is growing around the connection between substance use and our wellbeing, our family and relationships, and even our professional lives.  When substance use becomes a challenge, it can affect an employee’s wellbeing both personally and professionally. That’s why I’m proud to share the work and outcomes from LifeSpeak Inc.’s substance use solution, ALAViDA Substance Use, which was featured in this recent piece by BenefitsPRO. It talks about the true cost of binge drinking, a behavior shared by 61 million people in the United States, that costs employers $249 billion in annual health care costs and decreased employee productivity.  I hope you’ll give the article a read and see what Terri-Lynn MacKay has to say about substance use and the LifeSpeak Inc. approach that is helping people change their relationship with alcohol and other substances. You can also download the full report about outcomes for ALAViDA Substance Use on our website.  Binge drinking costs employers billions, but help is available (benefitspro.com)   #LifeSpeak20Years #HumanResources #EmployeeBenefits #Wellness #SubstanceUse
