Heather is a fifty-two-year-old woman who is the director of the human resources department at a large copper plating company. To help diminish the costs related to poor employee work performance, increasing absenteeism, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, excessive sick days, and work related injuries, Heather and the other company leaders put into operation some programs that made the work atmosphere significantly more healthy, safe, and more productive.
As an illustration, fifteen years ago Heather and the other company administrators put into operation an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the employees had access to quality therapy for their personal problems that could adversely affect their personal well-being, health, and their work performance.
The Company Executives Build a State-of-the-Art Workout and Exercise Room Complete With Weights, a Professional Trainer During Business Hours, Exercise Equipment, Scales, Mirrors, and Exercise Charts
As another illustration, just about seven years ago Heather and the other company executives assembled a technologically advanced workout and exercise room complete with weights, many different types of exercise equipment, a professional trainer during business hours, exercise charts, mirrors, and scales.
In addition, approximately three-and-a-half years ago Heather and the other company administrators invested in a distillation system that filters all the drinking water that is accessible all through the building complex. In a similar way, three years ago, Heather and the other company executives started a “walking club” that caters to workers who want to learn how to boost their cardiovascular system.
The VIPs Implement a Weight-Watchers Class and Hire a Weight-Loss Professional to Supervise the Program
As another illustration, around a year-and-a-half ago, Heather and the other company administrators launched a “Weight-Watchers” class that presently meets every Tuesday and Thursday at noon until 1:00 PM. Furthermore, the company leaders signed up a weight-loss healthcare professional to supervise the program.
In much the same way, a year-and-a-half ago Heather and the other company executives initiated a “Stop Smoking Club” for workers who want to learn how to stop or cut back on their smoking.
In the last nine months, in combination with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Heather and the other company leaders instituted an “Anger Management” class for employees who want to learn how to better cope with their anger.
The VIPs Start An Alcohol and Drug Testing Program
In the last three months, Heather and the other VIPs put into operation a alcohol and drug testing program that is related to their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In fact, Heather is the primary individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the employees about the drug and alcohol testing program as well as the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program.
One of the fundamental components of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Friday after work. The basic idea with this class is informing workers that hazardous drinking and depression frequently happen in the same individual. It is hoped that realizing this information will be able to help an individual address both medical issues and get the alcohol counseling and mental health therapy he or she requires.
The Company Leaders Establish an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class
Another relatively recent addition to the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcohol Statistics and Facts.” The rationale behind this alcohol statistics facts class is the reality that quite a few people do not comprehend the total impact of the results of alcoholism and alcohol abuse without first reading about some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts that are available. As a consequence, one of the goals of this class is to provide a variety of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts to help workers gain a better comprehension of the large number of issues that are associated with excessive and irresponsible drinking and how they can avert these issues from coming about.
Most recently, Heather and the other company leaders, via comments from workers, developed a class that centers directly on severe drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Tuesday morning an hour before work and focuses predominantly on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the kinds of rehabilitation that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as individuals who drink in an irresponsible manner.
Even though each and every one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was fairly expensive, top management reasons that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a more productive, healthy, and safe work environment.
