Heather is a sixty-one-year-old woman who is the director of the human resources department at a large steel finishing company. In order to help diminish the costs linked to excessive sick days, increasing absenteeism, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, poor employee work performance, and work related injuries, Heather and the other company administrators established a number of programs that made the work atmosphere substantially more healthy, safe, and more productive.
As an example, ten years ago Heather and the other company leaders launched an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the employees had access to professional psychological counseling for their personal problems that could harm their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.
The Company Leaders Build a New Workout and Exercise Room Complete With Exercise Equipment, Scales, Weights, a Professional Trainer During Business Hours, Exercise Charts, and Mirrors
As another illustration, around nine years ago Heather and the other members of upper management constructed a forward-looking exercise and workout room complete with scales, exercise charts, weights, mirrors, many different types of exercise equipment, and a professional trainer during business hours.
Furthermore, roughly four years ago Heather and the other VIPs invested in a purification system that filters all the drinking water that is obtainable in the main building. In much the same way, two years ago, Heather and the other company executives started a “walking club” that is chiefly intended for employees who want to work on their cardiovascular system.
Upper Management Puts Into Operation a Weight-Watchers Class and Signs Up a Weight-Loss Nurse to Supervise the Program
As another illustration, just about two years ago, Heather and the other members of upper management created a “Weight-Watchers” class that at present meets every workday at 5:00 PM until 6:00 PM. Furthermore, upper management employed a weight-loss trainer to oversee the program.
Similarly, a year-and-a-half ago Heather and the other company administrators launched a “Stop Smoking Club” for employers who want to abstain from smoking.
In the last ten months, in conjunction with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Heather and the other company executives launched an “Anger Management” class for employees who want to learn how to better manage their anger.
The Company Administrators Launch An Alcohol and Drug Testing Program
In the last two-and-a-half months, Heather and the other company administrators initiated a alcohol and drug testing program that is related to their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Heather is the main individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the employees about the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program as well as the drug and alcohol testing program.
One of the key components of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Monday after work. The basic idea with this class is informing workers that hazardous drinking and depression often happen in the same individual. It is hoped that realizing this information can help an individual address both medical issues and get the alcohol rehabilitation and mental health counseling he or she needs.
Top Management Institutes 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 reasoning behind this alcohol statistics facts class is the reality that more than a few individuals are unsuccessful in their attempt to grasp the full impact of the results of alcohol abuse and alcoholism without first reading about some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction facts and statistics that are available. As a result, one of the goals of this class is to provide various alcoholism and alcohol abuse facts and statistics to help employees gain a better understanding of the many of difficulties that are correlated with abusive and hazardous drinking and how they can prevent these problems from occurring.
Most recently, Heather and the other members of top management, through suggestions from workers, started a class that centers directly on severe drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Wednesday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses mainly on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the types of rehab that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an abusive manner.
Even though every one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was quite costly, the company administrators feel that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a more productive, safe, and healthy working situation.
