Upper Management Starts Numerous Programs To Decrease The Costs Linked To Excessive Sick Days, Increasing Absenteeism, Work Related Injuries, Employee Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism, And Poor Employee Work Performance, And Enhance Worker Mental Health
Warren is a fifty-eight-year-old man who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large metal finishing company. To reduce the costs related to increasing absenteeism, poor employee work performance, employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, work related injuries, and excessive sick days, Warren and the other company administrators instituted numerous programs that made the work atmosphere substantially more safe, more productive, and healthy.
As an example, ten years ago Warren and the other members of top management put into operation an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to top shelf psychological counseling for their personal problems that could harm their work performance, health, and their personal well being.
The Company Leaders Assemble a New Exercise and Workout Room Complete With Exercise Equipment, Scales, a Professional Trainer During Business Hours, Mirrors, Weights, and Exercise Charts
As another illustration, around seven-and-a-half years ago Warren and the other company administrators constructed a forward-looking exercise and workout room complete with a personal trainer during business hours, scales, weights, exercise charts, many different types of exercise equipment, and mirrors.
Not only this, but around three years ago Warren and the other VIPs invested in a purification system that filters all the drinking water that is obtainable in the building complex. In a similar way, two-and-a-half years ago, Warren and the other members of top management started a “walking club” that is mainly intended for employees who want to enhance their cardiovascular system.
The Company Leaders Launch a Weight-Watchers Class and Sign Up a Weight-Loss Professional to Manage the Program
As another example, just about a year-and-a-half ago, Warren and the other VIPs sponsored a “Weight-Watchers” class that at this time meets every workday at 5:00 PM until 6:00 PM. Moreover, the VIPs hired a weight-loss healthcare professional to manage the program.
In the same way, two years ago Warren and the other company executives put into operation a “Stop Smoking Club” for employers who want to refrain from smoking.
In the last seven months, in conjunction with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Warren and the other members of upper management implemented an “Anger Management” class for workers who want to learn how to better deal with their anger issues.
The Company Leaders Establish An Alcohol and Drug Testing Program
In the last two months, Warren and the other company leaders launched a alcohol and drug testing program that is related to their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In point of fact, Warren is the main 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 essential elements of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Friday after work. The fundamental idea with this class is informing employees that excessive drinking and depression routinely happen in the same person. It is hoped that understanding this information can help a person address both medical problems and get the alcohol rehabilitation and mental health counseling he or she needs.
The Company Leaders Start 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 numerous individuals fail to grasp the full impact of the consequences of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction without first hearing about some of the alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse facts and statistics that are available. As a result, one of the objectives of this class is to provide a variety of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency statistics and facts to help workers gain a better comprehension of the massive number of problems that are linked to abusive and hazardous drinking and how they can prevent these problems from transpiring.
Most recently, Warren and the other VIPs, by way of suggestions from workers, created a class that focuses directly on acute drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Monday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses largely on the differences between alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the forms of counseling that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an abusive manner.
Although each and every one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was quite costly, the company leaders reason that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a safe, more productive, and healthy work atmosphere.
