Working Life, Alcohol, and Labour Market Integration – A Nordic Insight
Watch the webinar
About the webinar
This is a collaborative webinar from the Nordic Welfare Centre and NIVA Education on working life, alcohol, and labour market integration from a Nordic perspective.
Alcohol use in the workplace is an issue that affects employees, employers, and society as a whole. In this webinar, we’ll take a closer look at the current landscape in the Nordic countries, examining how alcohol consumption influences working life and how it intersects with labour market participation.
The webinar will focus on:
- What are the alcohol habits in different occupational groups? Which groups should we be particularly aware of?
- Does increased remote work affect alcohol consumption? How should this issue be addressed from an employer’s perspective?
- What are the socio-economic consequences of alcohol, for example, in terms of lost productivity?
- How can we support individuals with alcohol problems in reintegrating into the labour market? Are there any effective initiatives or interventions that work better than others?
We’ll present findings from reports published by CAN, Norwegian Institute of Public Health , and the Nordic Welfare Centre.
The webinar will be conducted in English via Zoom, and participants will receive a link upon registration.
