Heather is a sixty-year-old woman who is the director of the human resources department at a large aluminum plating company. To reduce the costs linked to work related injuries, excessive sick days, increasing absenteeism, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, and poor employee work performance, Heather and the other company leaders established numerous programs that made the work environment significantly more safe, more productive, and healthy.

For example, eleven years ago Heather and the other company administrators put into operation an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to professional therapy for their personal problems that could unfavorably influence their personal well-being, health, and their work performance.

Top Management Assembles a Technologically Advanced Workout and Exercise Room Complete With Exercise Charts, Exercise Equipment, Mirrors, Weights, Scales, and a Personal Trainer During Business Hours

As another illustration, just about six years ago Heather and the other VIPs assembled a technologically advanced exercise and workout room complete with scales, mirrors, a professional trainer during business hours, weights, many different types of exercise equipment, and exercise charts.

In addition, about four-and-a-half years ago Heather and the other members of top management invested in a distillation system that filters all the drinking water that is obtainable all through the building. In much the same way, three years ago, Heather and the other VIPs started a “walking club” that is intended for workers who want to build up their cardiovascular system.

The Company Executives Start a Weight-Watchers Class and Employ a Weight-Loss Professional to Supervise the Program

As another illustration, approximately two years ago, Heather and the other members of top management instituted a “Weight-Watchers” class that at this moment in time meets every workday at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM. In addition, the company administrators hired a weight-loss trainer to administer the program.

In the same way, two years ago Heather and the other company leaders established a “Stop Smoking Club” for employers who want to learn how to stop smoking.

In the last seven months, in conjunction with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Heather and the other members of upper management put into operation an “Anger Management” class for employees who want to get a better handle on their anger.

The Company Executives Put Into Operation a Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

In the last five months, Heather and the other company administrators initiated a alcohol and drug testing program that is linked with their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In fact, Heather is the main individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the workers about the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program as well as the drug and alcohol testing program.

One of the fundamental components of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Monday after work. The main idea with this class is informing workers that abusive drinking and depression regularly occur in the same individual. It is hoped that realizing this information will be able to help an individual address both medical conditions and get the alcohol treatment and mental health therapy he or she needs.

Upper Management Initiates 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 numerous people are unsuccessful in their attempt to understand the full impact of the results of alcohol abuse and alcoholism without first learning about some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts that are available. As a consequence, one of the objectives of this class is to provide various alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency facts and statistics to help employees gain a better realization of the plethora of issues that are related to hazardous and irresponsible drinking and how they can avert these problems from transpiring.

Most recently, Heather and the other company administrators, by way of comments from workers, initiated a class that centers directly on severe drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Monday morning a half hour before work and focuses mostly on the differences between alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the types of treatment that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as individuals who drink in a hazardous manner.

Even though every one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was fairly expensive, upper management feels that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a more productive, safe, and healthy work atmosphere.
