It’s National Drug-Free Work Week!
💬 On Tuesday, October 13: Let’s Talk Workplace Safety!

National Drug-Free Work Week is a great time for a short team conversation about how alcohol and other drug use can affect judgment, coordination, and safe work performance.

🧠 Add a myth-or-fact challenge!

“A medication prescribed by a doctor can never affect someone’s ability to work safely.”

MYTH! Some medications can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or other side effects that affect safe work performance. Employees should discuss side effects with their healthcare provider and follow their workplace’s procedures for reporting safety concerns.

Keep the conversation educational—employees don’t need to share their medications or personal health information with the group.

One quick conversation can reinforce an important safety message.

Tomorrow starts National Drug-Free Work Week!

📋 Monday, October 12: Know Your Policy!

Start the week with a refresher on your Drug-Free Workplace Policy, reinforcing the expectations employees have already learned and how they apply to everyday work.

🔎 Make it interactive with a policy scavenger hunt! Ask employees to find:
• Where to access the policy.
• Who to contact with a question or safety concern.
• Where to find information about available assistance.

Enter participants into a small prize drawing to add some fun!

A policy is most useful when employees know where to find it and understand what’s expected.

🍁 Fall Flavors. Safer Choices. Stronger Workplaces.

Celebrate the season with a Pumpkin Spice Mocktail—a festive, alcohol-free option featuring pumpkin, maple, and warm fall spices. It’s a great addition to employee appreciation events, wellness initiatives, safety meetings, and workplace celebrations.

How does this support your Drug-Free Workplace Program?
Offering alcohol-free options at workplace events is a simple way to put your organization’s commitment to safety, wellness, and inclusion into practice. Mocktails provide an enjoyable alternative for everyone, including employees in recovery and those who choose not to drink, while helping normalize substance-free celebrations.

At Working Partners®, we believe a strong Drug-Free Workplace Program goes beyond policies and testing. It’s also about building a workplace culture where healthy choices are supported and employees can participate comfortably and safely.

✨ All the fall flavor. None of the alcohol.

📅 October 12–16 is National Drug-Free Work Week!

Use this week to put your Drug-Free Workplace Program into practice—and add a little fun to help the message stick! Here are five ways to make the week effective, engaging, and useful for your business:

📋 Monday: Revisit your policy.
Remind employees where to find it, what’s expected, and who to contact with questions. Add a policy scavenger hunt where employees find answers to a few key questions.

💬 Tuesday: Start a conversation.
Include a brief discussion about how alcohol and other drug use can affect workplace safety. Make it interactive with daily trivia or a myth-or-fact challenge, with a small prize drawing for participants.

👥 Wednesday: Refresh supervisor knowledge.
Review how to recognize and document observable safety concerns and follow your reasonable suspicion procedures. Use fictional “What would you do?” scenarios to practice applying your policy.

🤝 Thursday: Highlight available support.
Share your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) information or other support resources so employees know where to turn for help. Pair the reminder with an alcohol-free refreshment station! Find mocktail inspiration at workingpartners.com/mocktail-recipes.

✅ Friday: Identify one improvement—and celebrate participation!
Is training overdue? Are contact numbers current? Does your policy reflect how your business operates? Choose one action and assign a follow-up date. Wrap up with a team safety slogan contest and display the winning message.

Keep activities voluntary, positive, and respectful—without asking employees to share personal experiences with substance use or recovery.

Small, intentional steps can strengthen your program long after the week ends. At Working Partners®, we encourage businesses to use this opportunity to reinforce clear expectations, support employees, and keep safety at the center of everyday operations.

🍐🍂 Sip Into Fall with Our Spiced Pear Ginger Fizz!

Looking for a fresh way to promote wellness during your next workplace event? Our Spiced Pear Ginger Fizz is a delicious seasonal mocktail that's perfect for employee appreciation events, wellness activities, safety meetings, and fall celebrations.

Why include mocktails in your Drug-Free Workplace Program?

Offering alcohol-free beverages sends a powerful message that your organization values the health, safety, and well-being of every employee. Mocktails create an inclusive environment where everyone can celebrate together—whether they choose not to drink, are in recovery, or simply enjoy a refreshing alcohol-free option.

By incorporating mocktails into workplace events, you're helping to:
🍂 Promote healthy lifestyle choices
🤝 Foster an inclusive workplace culture
🛡️ Reinforce your commitment to safety and wellness
🎉 Show that celebrations can be fun without alcohol

Healthy choices can still be festive! Raise a glass to a stronger, healthier, and drug-free workplace this fall.

💜 Recovery-friendly workplaces support people AND protect businesses.

During National Recovery Month, it’s a great time to consider how your workplace supports employees in recovery—or those who may be ready to ask for help.

A strong Drug-Free Workplace program can help employers:

✅ Promote workplace safety
✅ Encourage employees to seek help early
✅ Reduce stigma surrounding recovery
✅ Improve retention and productivity
✅ Connect employees with valuable resources

Supporting recovery doesn’t mean compromising workplace safety. Safety, accountability, and support can—and should—work together.

At Working Partners®, we help employers develop Drug-Free Workplace programs that balance safety, accountability, prevention, and support while creating a workplace culture where employees feel comfortable seeking help.

📞 Is your Drug-Free Workplace program recovery-supportive? Call Working Partners® at 614-337-8200 for a FREE program review or to learn how we can help your organization become a more recovery-supportive employer.

Employee mental health matters—now more than ever. Supporting your team goes beyond the workplace; it means ensuring they and their families have access to the care, guidance, and resources they need to thrive.

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is one of the most impactful ways to provide that support—offering confidential help for stress, mental health, financial concerns, and more.

The Working Partners® consortium makes it easy and affordable. Our membership gives you access to trusted, vetted EAP programs for nearly pennies on the dollar—and it covers everyone in your employee’s household.

There’s no better time than now to invest in your people. Stronger support leads to healthier employees, stronger teams, and a more resilient workplace.

🍂 Happy First Day of Fall from Working Partners®! 🍁

A new season is the perfect time for a fresh look at your Drug-Free Workplace Program.

As your organization changes, your drug-free workplace program should keep pace. Policies can become outdated, regulations and workplace trends evolve, and procedures that worked years ago may no longer reflect your current workforce or operations.

This fall, take a few minutes to review:

📄 Your Drug-Free Workplace Policy and when it was last updated
🧪 Your drug and alcohol testing procedures
👥 Your employee and supervisor training
⚠️ Your reasonable suspicion and post-accident procedures
📋 Your documentation, forms, and internal processes
🤝 The resources available to employees who may need assistance

Not sure whether your program or policy needs an update? Working Partners® can help. We can review your current program, identify areas that may need attention, and help make sure your organization has the tools and guidance it needs to maintain a strong Drug-Free Workplace.

🍁 Start the new season with a stronger workplace.

📞 Call Working Partners® today at 614-337-8200 to get started.
