CINCINNATI—Jan. 15, 2025—JBM Packaging is pleased to announce that it has been officially designated as an Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace. This recognition reflects JBM Packaging’s commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment for employees who may be affected by substance use disorders and mental health challenges.
The Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative, part of Governor Mike DeWine’s RecoveryOhio initiative, encourages businesses to adopt policies and practices that support employees in recovery, reduce stigma, and promote overall well-being. Organizations that receive the designation are equipped with tools, resources, and training to create a workplace culture that prioritizes health and safety while helping employees in recovery succeed.
“At JBM Packaging, we believe in providing our employees with the resources and support they need to thrive, both personally and professionally,” said Marcus Sheanshang, President and CEO of JBM Packaging. “Becoming an Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace is a natural extension of our commitment to the well-being of our workforce and the communities we serve.”
Key Benefits of the Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace Designation:
- Increased employee retention and productivity: Employees in recovery often bring resilience and dedication to their roles.
- Lower healthcare costs and absenteeism: A recovery-friendly culture helps create a healthier, more engaged workforce.
- Reduced stigma: Creating an open, supportive environment for those in recovery encourages transparency and mutual support among team members. As part of the Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace program, JBM Packaging will continue to share resources such as how to access to substance use treatment information or mental health services, and provide employment opportunities to people in recovery. The organization will also provide ongoing training and initiatives aimed at promoting recovery and mental health awareness within the workplace.
Governor DeWine and RecoveryOhio have been instrumental in promoting the Recovery Friendly Workplace designation across the state, recognizing the program’s potential to improve both the lives of individuals and the productivity of Ohio’s workforce.
