Recognising behaviours and how to get help and support. 85% of businesses in the UK have an alcohol and substance misuse policy. Yet less than 5% have a policy for gambling. The real time nature of gambling and trading, means that employees may be gambling in the workplace. Individuals may not be aware that gambling is addictive.
