“Anonymity is killing people,” shares Jamie Green, speaking about living and working in recovery.

What does it mean to have an official recovery-friendly workplace and to not only share openly what people are living through- but actually help them?

While the opioid crisis raged around the country, Hypertherm in New Hampshire was figuring out ways to respond to the needs of its immediate workforce. Not only is the company investing in their own people, but also in advocacy efforts for the surrounding community.

Join us as Jamie Green shares her very personal story of going through recovery at work, and Stacey Chiocchio, the Community Citizenship Manager at Hypertherm, shares the development, growth and importance of the initiative.

They discuss:

• How a substance misuse agreement lead to more recovery-friendly programs in the workplace
• Details of their initiatives and program development over the years
• Benefits to these changes including staff retention and upskilling
• Specific tips for companies wanting to create a recovery-friendly workplace
