Kentucky Transformational Employment Program launches

By Susan Dunlap

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear is encouraging employers to join a new program that helps ensure workplace policies align with the mission of opioid response and create pathways for more Kentuckians to access evidence-based, compassionate treatment and recovery services.

Business leaders and health advocates recently gathered virtually to launch the new initiative, known as the Kentucky Transformational Employment Program (KTEP), which resulted from legislation signed into law by the Governor in 2020.

"Kentucky employers have been greatly impacted by the opioid epidemic, experiencing challenges in hiring, absenteeism, productivity, retention, and health care spending," said Gov. Beshear. "I signed Senate Bill 191 because we recognize the complexity of this issue and the challenges our employers face to ensure workplace policies align with the needs of their workforce. No one can do this work alone and it is imperative we support employers in their efforts to hire and support employees impacted by addiction."
