Free Webinar: The Impact of Gambling on Employment and Workforce

A recent Canada-wide survey found that gambling during work hours is surprisingly common among full-time employees. This webinar will delve into the complex realities of workplace gambling, offering insights into why people engage in gambling during work hours and how the work environment itself can shape those behaviours. 

Join us as we explore: 

* The types of gambling that occur at work 

* The consequences and harms associated with workplace gambling 

* Motivations behind gambling at work, and the role of work–life satisfaction 

* How workplace culture and social dynamics influence gambling behaviours 

We will also examine: 

* Warning signs of gambling problems in the workplace 

* Whether gambling at work is linked to higher rates of problem gambling 

* Occupations with elevated gambling risk 

* Strategies to reduce harms, including ways to channel interests into more fulfilling activities 

* The importance of workplace policies (e.g., acceptable activities, access to betting sites, disclosure protocols) 

* Support services available to individuals facing gambling-related challenges 

This session is ideal for HR professionals, supervisors, workplace wellness leads, but also for anyone who may be starting a new career or interested in understanding and addressing gambling-related issues at work. Together, we’ll explore ways to create healthier, more supportive work environments.
