Addiction in the workplace is more common than many employers realise - and more costly than most expect. This practical session brings together the expertise of Triangle HR, an independent HR consultancy and A Better Tomorrow, a peer-led recovery charity, to help employers understand, recognise and respond to the realities of substance use in their teams.

Combining real-world HR guidance with lived experience of addiction and recovery, the session explores what addiction actually looks like in a workplace setting, how to navigate challenging scenarios with compassion and confidence, and what practical steps organisations can take to build a culture where people feel safe to seek support.

Attendees will work through real workplace scenarios, hear directly from people with lived experience of recovery, and leave with clear, actionable guidance — from how to have those difficult conversations, to the policies, signposting and cultural shifts that can genuinely make a difference.

This session is for anyone who manages people — whether you're an HR professional, a line manager or a business owner who wants to do right by their team. It will be an open, honest and confidential forum with all questions welcomed.

The team are passionate about breaking the stigma around addiction, and making the workplace a safe place to seek support and a place where recovery journeys can continue to flourish. They look forward to welcoming you into the conversation.
