The Hospitality Industry is Taking Action

Hospitality ranks as one of the highest industries with substance use and together, Shatterproof and companies are creating change.

The hospitality industry is uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of substance use disorder.

High turnover rates, irregular work hours, and readily available alcohol in many settings can create an environment that leaves employees vulnerable to substance misuse. Long hours, high stress, and a fast-paced culture contribute to heightened risks among its workforces.

Shatterproof has been working as a trusted guide for leading hotel brands and hospitality partners since inception over 10 years ago as they navigate their businesses amid an addiction crisis. We help shape policies, provide critical resources and trainings for employees and create a shared space for conversation and growth.

Partnering with Shatterproof provides a lifeline for hospitality employees, safeguards businesses and pioneers transformation for the industry.
