Indiana Workplace Substance Use & Recovery Survey 2022

The Wellness Council of Indiana and Indiana Chamber of Commerce are committed to creating and sustaining actionable workplace solutions. Therefore, these efforts help tackle our state’s mental health and substance use disorder crises. Over the past several years, there has been significant effort and investment. Furthermore, this addresses issues using innovative and creative approaches. The Indiana Chamber and Wellness Council of Indiana are committed to assisting employers and their workers. This is shown through its workforce mental health and substance use disorder programming, training and education. The goals of this initiative include increased education and awareness; stigma reduction; prevention; and employer engagement.

Likewise, we are working to reduce the prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD) and support those in need. Altogether, the core objective of this programming has been to make data-driven decisions for evaluating areas of need within the state’s employer community. The Wellness Council, in partnership with internal and external stakeholders, gathered survey data from Indiana employers in 2019, 2021 and again in Fall 2022. Resulting, this report is the third iteration of this process and assesses additional workplace attitudes and practices. These all relating to the social determinants of health, as well as mental health and substance use disorder.
