February's Hot Topic

Opioids in the Workplace - HR's Critical Role

Many HR professionals feel that the opioid crisis is not an issue in their workplace. It is not true and the epidemic is not over.

Prescription opioids are impacting your employees and/or their family members due to medical/dental procedures, as well as injuries and illnesses that cause pain. According to the Institute of Medicine, pain-related conditions affect 116 million adults in the U.S., resulting in $560 to $635 billion in medical costs and lost productivity.

Chris Noone will teach the hr630 group what you can do in your organization to develop an action plan. There are steps you can take across HR to update your policies and work with your medical, prescription, EAP, safety, wellness and training programs. Bring your questions!
