Sick of pub “meetings”? Frustrated that networking involves anxiety around drinking? Janet Hadley's Alcohol Safe Workplace Accreditation Program is the Answer!

Not Drinking (Alcohol) Today Podcast

Are you sick of 'meetings' at the pub? Do you feel pressured to drink when networking or feel anxious before 'Happy Hour' and dread the inevitable hangover? Do you wish being part of your work's 'inner sanctum' didn't necessitate downing bucketloads of alcohol? Surely, there is another way for the workplace to be safer, more inclusive and healthier!
Today we are joined by the remarkable (and very funny!) Janet Hadley, Director of Choose Sunrise, and founder of the innovative Alcohol Safe Workplace accreditation program. Janet opens up about her personal struggles with alcohol and now aims to foster supportive and uplifting workplace environments where employees can truly succeed.
Alcohol policies in the workplace - why are they important? Why do we need to talk about them? This episode is dedicated to helping you understand the profound implications of these policies, and how they can contribute to psychological safety at work.
The creation of an inclusive workspace not only boosts employee engagement but also promotes a diverse workforce. However, changing the drinking culture is no easy task, especially when decision-makers themselves might be drinkers and cannot contemplate networking without it. Our younger employees are bucking this trend and do not want their workplace to be enmeshed with alcohol, hangovers and the way alcohol-laden socialising eats into their personal time. This is exactly why we must question it.
This episode is a must for those looking to comprehend the impacts of alcohol in the workplace, and create a healthier drinking culture. So, grab your headphones and join us!
