Workplace addiction support recognises that businesses have legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 to consider addiction as a disability requiring reasonable adjustments, while also maintaining workplace safety and productivity standards. Our services include developing clear addiction policies that comply with employment law while protecting business interests and employee rights.
Training programmes help managers and HR professionals recognise signs of addiction, approach employees appropriately, and navigate the complex legal requirements around addiction in the workplace.
Business consultation services help companies balance their duty of care to employees with practical concerns about workplace safety, productivity, and liability. We provide guidance on reasonable adjustments, return-to-work planning, and long-term support that helps employees maintain recovery while meeting job requirements.
How Do I Know If An Employee Has An Addiction Problem?
Yes, there are observable workplace signs that may indicate employee addiction, but it is important to approach suspected addiction carefully due to legal requirements and confidentiality concerns. These behaviours can overlap with other personal or health issues, so employers must avoid assumptions and follow proper procedures.
Some signs to look out for in the workplace are:
Frequent unexplained absences, especially on Mondays or after holidays, arriving late consistently, or leaving early without valid reasons.
Declining performance such as missed deadlines, reduced work quality, difficulty concentrating, or unusual mistakes compared to the employee’s usual standards.
Physical signs including appearing tired or unwell, bloodshot eyes, unusual odours, dramatic mood swings, or seeming intoxicated during work hours.
Behavioural changes like irritability with colleagues, withdrawing from workplace interactions, defensive responses to routine questions, or avoiding direct supervision.
Because these signs could stem from a range of issues, employers should rely on documented performance or attendance problems as objective grounds for action, rather than attempting to diagnose addiction themselves.
Can I Require An Employee To Get Addiction Treatment?
No, you cannot directly force an employee to undergo addiction treatment, but you can require them to address performance or safety issues and offer treatment as a reasonable adjustment under disability legislation.
Employment law protects employees from discrimination based on addiction when it’s considered a disability under the Equality Act 2010. However, employers can and must address performance problems, safety concerns, and attendance issues regardless of their underlying causes. This means focusing on observable workplace problems rather than the suspected addiction itself.
You can require employees to meet job performance standards and follow workplace safety rules while offering support through employee assistance programmes or treatment referrals as reasonable adjustments.
Occupational health referrals can provide professional assessment of whether addiction is affecting work performance and recommend appropriate workplace adjustments or treatment options. This approach protects both employee rights and business interests while providing pathways to recovery that benefit everyone involved.
