A speaker advocates for small, practical shifts in workplace culture to support recovery-friendly environments: when offices present communal treats (e.g., Halloween candy) or event signature cocktails, also provide healthy alternatives (fruit, vegetables, nonalcoholic options) so employees can make moderated adult choices rather than being nudged toward unhealthy or alcohol choices.

Chapters

We have this habit of taking all of the extra Halloween candy and bringing it into the office and throwing it in a bowl on the break room table. And before I talked about recovery friendly workplaces and in addition to, we talk about food at work as well. Right. You talked about food also. So I'm not saying don't do that. We call that dumping. Right. We're going to get it out of my house and I'm going to dump it on the break room table. Now for me, when I get hungry in the afternoon at 2:30, 3:00', clock, if that's the only thing on the break room table, well, that's what I'm going to grab a handful of. Right. So if the only signature drink at the corporate event is a cocktail, I'm going to be pretty persuaded to go and get that alcoholic beverage. What we advocate for is if you're going to put the Halloween candy in the table, put fruit, put fruit or a vegetable. Right. And so when I go up, I'm an adult, I go up and I get to choose a 2:30 or 3:00 clock in the avenue. Do I want to grab an apple or do I want to grab the Halloween candy? Right. I'm not saying eliminate, I'm just saying provide options so that people can moderate and be adults. Yeah.
