OOD Recognized as a Recovery-Friendly Workplace

In September 2024, OOD received the "Recovery Friendly Workplace" designation from RecoveryOhio, underscoring its commitment to fostering an inclusive environment for employees with mental health conditions and substance use disorders.

This recognition aligns with the goals of the Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace program, which supports employers in creating a nurturing atmosphere that encourages employees to seek treatment, reduces stigma, and helps retain a healthy workforce.

By implementing essential practices such as incorporating recovery-friendly policies into hiring and workplace procedures, facilitating access to employee assistance programs, and providing mental health resources, OOD enhances its workplace culture and hopes to inspire other Ohio employers to support their employees on their recovery journeys.
