\n\u201cUnderstanding substance use disorders and reducing their stigma are prerequisites for getting more employees the help they need,\u201d said Peter Loeb, CEO of Lionrock. \u201cAt Lionrock, we are uniquely qualified to assist leaders taking on this challenge and recognize HR teams are seeking more than just a portal of mental health information. The Courage to Change: Workplace Wellness Program was created with HR leaders top-of-mind, combining expert training and effective tools companies need to support their team members with minimal effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe adverse impact SUD can have on business performance is significant, costing U.S. employers up to $207 billion annually<\/a> in lost productivity. Companies can no longer afford to leave mental health support out of the picture. A recent study by Ultimate Kronos Group says managers have the greatest impact on people\u2019s mental health<\/a>, even more than therapists or doctors. Moreover, 64% of employees admit they would take a pay cut for a job that better supports their mental wellness. As employees increasingly look to their workplace for mental wellness support, employers are now tasked with providing comprehensive mental health resources to employees beyond what\u2019s provided by corporate benefit plans. Not providing these supports risks losing talent that is challenging and expensive to replace.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLionrock\u2019s Courage to Change: Workplace Wellness Program fills the gap for HR leaders as they struggle to battle the impacts of substance use disorder within their companies,\u201d said Erica Williams, Director of Human Resources at Staff Zone. \u201cThe program provides employees direct access to engaging and highly educational resources and provides supplemental manager training that equips leaders with how to create an inclusive workplace for employees exploring mental wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n
