The VIPs Implement Quite A Few Programs In Order To Lower The Costs Related To Increasing Absenteeism, Employee Alcoholism And Alcohol Abuse, Poor Employee Work Performance, Work Related Injuries, And Excessive Sick Days, And Enhance Worker Self Esteem And Sense Of Personal Happiness

Warren is a sixty-two-year-old man who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large plastics molding company. To help reduce the costs associated with poor employee work performance, work related injuries, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, excessive sick days, and increasing absenteeism, Warren and the other company administrators launched some programs that made the work atmosphere significantly more safe, healthy, and more productive.

For example, ten years ago Warren and the other members of upper management implemented an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to first-rate counseling for their personal problems that could adversely affect their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.

The Company Leaders Construct a Modern Exercise and Workout Room Complete With Exercise Charts, Scales, Exercise Equipment, Weights, a Personal Trainer During Business Hours, and Mirrors

As another example, just about nine years ago Warren and the other members of upper management assembled a new exercise and workout room complete with many different types of exercise equipment, scales, weights, a professional trainer during business hours, exercise charts, and mirrors.

Furthermore, just about three years ago Warren and the other company administrators invested in a purification system that filters all the drinking water that is obtainable anywhere in the building complex. In much the same way, two-and-a-half years ago, Warren and the other company executives started a “walking club” that is essentially intended for employees who want to improve upon their cardiovascular system.

The Company Leaders Initiate a Weight-Watchers Class and Hire a Weight-Loss Professional to Manage the Program

As another example, about two-and-a-half years ago, Warren and the other company leaders established a “Weight-Watchers” class that at this moment in time meets every weekday at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM. Moreover, the VIPs signed up a weight-loss professional to supervise the program.

Similarly, a year-and-a-half ago Warren and the other members of upper management instituted a “Stop Smoking Club” for workers who want to quit or cut back on their smoking.

In the last nine months, in combination with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Warren and the other company leaders initiated an “Anger Management” class for workers who want to learn how to better deal with their temper.

The Company Administrators Establish a Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

In the last two-and-a-half months, Warren and the other VIPs launched a alcohol and drug testing program that is related to their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Warren is the main individual 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 fundamental elements of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Tuesday after work. The main idea with this class is informing workers that hazardous drinking and depression often take place in the same individual. It is hoped that knowing this information will be able to help a person address both medical issues and get the alcohol treatment and mental health therapy he or she requires.

The Company Leaders Start an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class

Another relatively recent enhancement 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 many people fail to recognize the full impact of the effects of alcohol abuse and alcoholism without first learning about some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency statistics and facts that are available. As a consequence, one of the goals of this class is to provide a range of alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse statistics and facts in order to help employees gain a better understanding of the multitude of difficulties that are related to abusive and hazardous drinking and how they can stop these difficulties from transpiring.

Most recently, Warren and the other company administrators, via observations from employees, developed 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 for the most part on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the types of therapy that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an irresponsible manner.

Although every single one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was not inexpensive, the company leaders believe that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with a more productive, safe, and healthy work environment.
