Creating A Drink Safe Workspace
Let's end the stigma, because nobody should feel afraid to ask for help with alcohol use.

Creating A Drink Safe Workspace

Inspiring employers to create a drink safe workplace, without killing the buzz!

Read All About It

There’s no doubt that it can feel daunting to bring up taboo topics in the workplace.

However, progressive employers are reaping the benefits of doing just that. As people open up to talk about difficult experiences, others who share the same fears start to feel psychologically safe, empowering them to reach out and ask for help.

This has to be a game-changer for employee wellbeing, doesn't it?

There's a growing body of evidence that the workplace is the perfect setting for anti-stigma activities (hello menopause awareness week). That’s why I’ve set out the case for including alcohol in the wider workplace wellbeing programme in this article:

Drinking Culture - Why We Must First Change the Drinking Culture in Order to Reduce Alcohol Harm.

I’m delighted that I've been published by the brilliant Making Business Matter blog as the guest blogger this week.


The Co-op Sober Curious Society

Michelle is proud to share her story wtih colleagues - an inspiration!

This month at the Co-op, colleagues heard from one of their senior leaders, Michelle, about her decision to stop drinking. It was an incredibly powerful story and the discussion in the room afterwards really brought to life how important it is for people who might be questioning their own drinking to hear from role models who are just a little further along the path.

Enabling people to catch sight of what life might be like without alcohol (spoiler alert, it’s better) is a simple and effective way to reduce alcohol harm. Most of us have been raised in a drinking culture and have very few sober heroes. I’m so delighted to be able to bring this to people in the group and to have the privilege of helping them to step off the booze train and find their joy.

Next month I’ll be helping the Society Members to prepare to not just survive, but to thrive on an alcohol free Christmas, including navigating the works doo, completely alcohol free.

If you’d like to chat about setting up a peer support network in your workplace,?get in touch.

Calling All SME’s

Workplace wellbeing can feel like a ‘nice to have’ in the current climate, especially for small to medium enterprises. That’s why I’m exploring the idea of setting up a low-cost peer support network that SME’s can access on a pay-per-seat basis. I’d love to hear from you if your company would like to take part in a trial from January 2023.
