Associated Builders and Contractors has achieved certification as a recovery-friendly workplace from the Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation’s National Recovery Friendly Workplace Institute. The rigorous certification recognizes ABC’s commitment to fostering a supportive environment for employees in recovery from substance use disorders, as well as their loved ones.
The certification recognizes ABC’s adherence to four requirements that ensure individuals with substance use disorders get the same level of early access to treatment and recovery supports as other medical conditions would:
- Culture: Promoting a recovery-friendly workplace with supportive policies and leadership.
- Hiring, retention and advancement: Supporting fair hiring practices and employee wellness.
- Benefits: Providing accessible and equitable resources for recovery and mental health.
- Education and awareness: Ensuring staff are informed and trained to support recovery initiatives.
ABC developed its Total Human Health Initiative to help contractors keep workers safe with tools to identify, acknowledge and address preoccupying concerns that everyone experiences in daily life—and save lives.
