We partnered with the National Safety Council to create a substance-use cost calculator. Take for example, an employer with 45,000 employees. They will lose $50 million annually in turnover, absenteeism, and healthcare costs related to substance use disorder. And for every employee who's in recovery, that same company can save about $8,500 annually. We need coworkers and managers to be equipped to step in and have productive, compassionate conversations that prioritize employee mental health. Addiction isn't a failure of character. It's a challenge of our culture.

Indeed's survey of 1,551 UK adults aged 18 and over, all in part-time or full-time employment, found that while 87% believe work can be more than a paycheck and 94% believe it is possible to be happy at work most of the time, only 23% report currently thriving at work. In this survey, thriving reflects those with high work wellbeing, which is measured across four key indicators: happiness, stress, sense of purpose, and overall satisfaction.
