Abstract

Addiction in the workplace is an issue that has long been overlooked but is increasingly recognized for its impact on both individual employees and organizational performance. This paper investigates the prevalence of addiction in the workplace; its risks; and the strategies that organizations can adopt to support employees struggling with addiction. The prevalence of various forms of addiction; including substance use disorders; gambling; and behavioral addictions; is examined through existing studies and workplace surveys. The paper further explores the risks associated with addiction in the workplace; including productivity loss; workplace accidents; absenteeism; and interpersonal conflicts. It also considers the stigma associated with addiction and the need for a supportive organizational culture. Key strategies for organizational support; such as employee assistance programs (EAPs); counseling services; policy development; and managerial training; are discussed in detail. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how addiction affects the workplace and offer practical recommendations for organizations seeking to support their employees’ well-being while maintaining a productive and safe working environment.
