In this talk, I will discuss how we can improve workplace interventions aimed at preveting gambling harms, using the results of three new studies. 

Gambling and gambling problems differ in prevalence between occupational groups. In some organizations, almost 10% know someone who gambles during work. At the same time, some managers are unaware of their responsibilities or are not inclined to talk to employees who may have a problem with gambling or other harmful use. 

Using behavioral data, we have found evidence that managers who participate in a skill-development training performed more actions to help employees who they suspect have a problem with gambling or other harmful use. However, there were many challenges and lessons learned. These include how to measure gambling harms related to work, the effectiveness of specific components such as policies, disseminating knowledge through the organizations, and finding a balance between tailoring the intervention and maintaining intervention fidelity.
