Recovery Friendly Workplaces

  • Substance use disorders affect every industry, but construction consistently experiences higher-than-average rates of substance use and overdose risk. At the same time, employment is one of the strongest predictors of long-term recovery success. Employers who support recovery often experience improvements in retention, attendance, productivity, morale, and workforce stability.

  • Research and Recovery Friendly Workplace initiatives have found that employees in recovery: 

    • Miss fewer workdays. 

    • Demonstrate strong resilience and commitment. 

    • Have retention rates comparable to or better than their peers. 

    • Represent an important source of skilled labor in a challenging workforce market.

  • For New Hampshire's highway construction industry, supporting recovery is both a workforce development strategy and an investment in employee wellbeing. Please visit the sites below to learn more about how you can make your business a recovery friendly workplace.
