The Company Leaders Launch Several Programs To Decrease The Costs Correlated With Poor Employee Work Performance



Christine is a sixty-year-old woman who is the director of the HR department at a large cadmium plating company. To lower the costs associated with excessive sick days, poor employee work performance, employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, increasing absenteeism, and work related injuries, Christine and the other members of upper management created some programs that made the work environment substantially more productive, safe, and healthy.

As an illustration, fourteen years ago Christine and the other VIPs implemented an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the employees had access to top shelf psychological counseling for their personal problems that could unfavorably affect their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.

As another illustration, approximately seven-and-a-half years ago Christine and the other VIPs constructed a new exercise and workout room complete with exercise charts, scales, many different types of exercise equipment, weights, a personal trainer during business hours, and mirrors.

As another example, about two-and-a-half years ago, Christine and the other members of top management instituted a "Weight-Watchers" class that presently meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM. Furthermore, the company executives hired a weight-loss trainer to administer the program.

In the last thirteen months, in a joint venture with the Employee's Assistance Program, Christine and the other VIPs initiated an "Anger Management" class for employees who want to control their temper.

In the last three months, Christine and the other company leaders instituted a drug and alcohol testing program that is related to their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. Indeed, Christine is the key person in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the workers about the drug and alcohol testing program as well as the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program.

Another relatively recent enhancement 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 that more than a few people fail to appreciate the total impact of the effects of alcoholism and alcohol abuse without first getting exposed to some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts that are available. Consequently, one of the goals of this class is to provide a variety of alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse facts and statistics in order to help employees gain a better comprehension of the huge number of problems that are related to abusive and hazardous drinking and how they can prevent these issues from coming about.

Most recently Christine and the other company executives, through suggestions from workers, developed a class that centers directly on severe drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Tuesday morning a half hour before work and focuses predominantly on the differences between alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse, on some of the essential differences between statistics on alcohol abuse and statistics on alcoholism, and on the different kinds of counseling that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an abusive manner.

Although every one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was quite costly, the company administrators reason that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with more productive, healthy, and safe working conditions.
