Heather is a sixty-three-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large chemical recovery company. To help decrease the costs correlated with increasing absenteeism, poor employee work performance, employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, work related injuries, and excessive sick days, Heather and the other company administrators implemented some programs that made the work atmosphere considerably more productive, healthy, and safe.
As an example, fourteen years ago Heather and the other members of top management instituted an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the employees had access to top shelf psychological counseling for their personal problems that could negatively influence their health, work performance, and their personal well-being.
The Company Administrators Erect a New Exercise and Workout Room Complete With Exercise Charts, a Personal Trainer During Business Hours, Exercise Equipment, Mirrors, Weights, and Scales
As another illustration, around eight years ago Heather and the other members of top management assembled an avant-garde workout and exercise room complete with scales, mirrors, a professional trainer during business hours, weights, many different types of exercise equipment, and exercise charts.
Furthermore, nearly four years ago Heather and the other company administrators invested in a distillation system that filters all the water that is obtainable throughout the main building. In a similar manner, two years ago, Heather and the other company executives started a “walking club” that targets employees who want to further develop their cardiovascular system.
The Company Administrators Put Into Operation a Weight-Watchers Class and Employ a Weight-Loss Trainer to Manage the Program
As another illustration, approximately two-and-a-half years ago, Heather and the other members of top management sponsored a “Weight-Watchers” class that at this time meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM. In addition, the company administrators hired a weight-loss trainer to manage the program.
In a similar manner, a year-and-a-half ago Heather and the other VIPs initiated a “Stop Smoking Club” for employers who want to quit smoking.
In the last thirteen months, in combination with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Heather and the other company administrators established an “Anger Management” class for workers who want to learn how to better cope with their anger.
Upper Management Initiates An Alcohol and Drug Testing Program
In the last two-and-a-half months, Heather and the other members of upper management started a alcohol and drug testing program that is associated with their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Heather is the key person 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 major elements of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Monday after work. The fundamental idea with this class is informing employees that abusive drinking and depression regularly take place in the same individual. It is hoped that realizing this information will be able to help a person address both medical problems and get the alcohol therapy and mental health counseling he or she requires.
The Company Leaders Initiate an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class
Another fairly 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 several individuals are unsuccessful in their attempt to appreciate the total impact of the consequences of alcoholism and alcohol abuse without first learning about some of the alcoholism and alcohol abuse facts and statistics that are available. Consequently, one of the objectives of this class is to provide various alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics and facts to help employees gain a better realization of the large number of difficulties that are linked to hazardous and abusive drinking and how they can prevent these problems from happening.
Most recently, Heather and the other members of upper management, by way of comments from workers, created a class that centers directly on acute drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Wednesday morning an hour before work and focuses chiefly on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the different forms of rehab that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an abusive manner.
Even though every single one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was anything but low-cost, the VIPs think that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a healthy, more productive, and safe working situation.
