Building a Recovery-Friendly Workplace Events in Traverse City and Cadillac
September 20, 2022
The ongoing opioid epidemic in the U.S. is making it important for businesses to understand how they can attract and retain talent by creating a recovery-friendly workplace. Resources to help businesses do that will be featured at “Building a Recovery-Friendly Workplace” events October 11 in Traverse City and October 18 in Cadillac. The Traverse City event will run from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, in the Conference Center at Northwest Michigan Works!, 1209 S. Garfield Avenue. The Cadillac event will run from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Northwest Michigan Works!, 401 N. Lake Street.
The events will include information about HR compliance strategies, including the Americans with Disabilities Act; the stigma associated with recovery; and strategies to build a recovery-friendly workplace.
There will also be a panel discussion featuring:
· Timothy Hudson with the Michigan Opioid Collaborative
· Lindsay Raymond, Employment Law Attorney, Danbrook Adams Raymond PLC
· Caitlin Koucky, Executive Director, Community Recovery Alliance
There is no charge to attend either event and lunch will be provided. Seating is limited. Registration is available at nwm.org/Recovery.
Our Township greatly benefits from Network Northwest's experience, depth of knowledge and understanding. Because they work with so many diverse communities in our ten-county region they understand the local land-use issues and are already working on solutions by the time we realize we need some help.
