Targeted specifically to corporate events and hospitality, the Good Hosts program is helping businesses to better manage their events safely, inclusively and in an environment that reinforces the organisation’s responsible values.

Why do businesses choose Good Hosts?

Alcohol is Australia’s second highest cause of preventable death and illness. Australian workplaces are particularly vulnerable to alcohol-related problems – an estimated $3.6billion in productivity is lost every year because of alcohol misuse. Many workers exhibit alcohol consumption patterns that place themselves, and others, at risk of short and long term harm. These harms are a risk to your business and its reputation but they can be prevented. Likewise, workplace safety is paramount, particularly in higher-risk environments including workplace hospitality where alcohol is a factor.

The Good Hosts program is helping Australian businesses:

• Protect their corporate image and reputation
• Meet duty-of-care and occupational health and safety obligations at work functions
• Reduce potential liability for employers
• Align and/or reinforce corporate culture and strategic direction
• Minimise the risk of intoxication and alcohol-related harms at workplace events, and
• Enhance the general safety and function amenity for all attendees; staff, clients and guests

By aligning your business with the Australian Drug Foundation’s workplace services initiative, you are safeguarding against potential incidents. There is strong evidence to show absenteeism and productivity losses can be minimised by investing in an alcohol management strategy for your workplace.
