Alcohol in the Workplace
Workplace Alcohol and Drug Policies
Studies have shown that the abuse of alcohol and drugs in the workplace can cost Canadian workplaces billions of dollars in lost productivity, injuries, absenteeism, medical costs and liability.
One way to address this issue is to adopt a clear and comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Workplace Policy. The goal of a well-written policy should provide access to current and accurate information. This would include substance abuse and all of its affects, methods that outline early detection protocols, and a process to support affected employees and their families to seek out treatment options that meet their specific needs.
The Benefits of an Alcohol and Drug Workplace Policy:
- Employees and management will have a clear understanding of how the organization deals with substance use in the workplace
- Can guide managers and fellow employees on how to deal with an individual with a substance use problem
- Improve workplace health and safety
- Can assist and support employees and/or their families with a substance abuse problem
- Reduce liability
- Reduce workplace injuries related to substance abuse
- Demonstrates a supportive and healthy workplace to its employees
Workplace Drug and Alcohol Policy Can Reduce Loss
Establishing a workplace policy can drastically reduce the cost to business and industry from decreased productivity and increased health claims.
One of the most important steps to acheiving this is to have a CLEAR written policy and statement.
Training and Education
Another important factor for a substance abuse program is training supervisors to understand the company's substance abuse policy and procedures, to identify employee problems, and to know how to refer employees to available assistance so that any personal problems that may be affecting performance can be addressed.
Of course, another step in the process is to educate employees about the company's substance abuse program and any assistance that is available to them through the company.
