In part 2 of our workplace series, we discuss the things employers need to know to create a "sober positive" environment. 

• Michael Scott ("The Office") defines an intervention and educates his employees on why "doing alcohol" is bad 
• Compelling reasons employers should want to build a sober positive workplace including productivity impact 
• Times are changing:
  • WeWork 
  • Salesforce and Soberforce
• A portrait of a sober professional 
• Where do companies start 

In this episode, we introduce our Show Up and Stay initiative of:  The Sober Positive Workplace which includes consulting services available for organizations looking to promote these initiatives across their organization.  For more information, please send an email to [email protected].
