Top Management Personnel Launch Quite A Few Programs To Help Reduce The Costs Related To Poor Employee Work Performance

Christine is a forty-seven-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large plastics finishing company. To trim down the costs correlated with increasing absenteeism, work related injuries, excessive sick days, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, and poor employee work performance, Christine and the other company leaders initiated numerous programs that made the work atmosphere significantly more safe, healthy, and more productive.

For instance, fourteen years ago Christine and the other company leaders established an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to professional counseling for their personal problems that could adversely influence their personal well-being, health, and their work performance.

As another example, roughly six-and-a-half years ago Christine and the other company leaders erected a technologically advanced workout and exercise room complete with many different types of exercise equipment, scales, a personal trainer during business hours, exercise charts, mirrors, and weights.

As another illustration, approximately two years ago, Christine and the other members of upper management established a "Weight-Watchers" class that at present meets every workday at 4:30 PM until 5:50 PM. Moreover, the VIPs employed a weight-loss nurse to manage the program.

In the last ten months, in a joint venture with the Employee's Assistance Program, Christine and the other company leaders established an "Anger Management" class for workers who want to learn how to better cope with their anger issues.

In the last two-and-a-half months, Christine and the other members of top management put into operation a drug and alcohol testing program that is associated with their alcohol and drug abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Christine is the key individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the employees about the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program as well as the drug and alcohol testing program.

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 that numerous individuals do not recognize the full impact of the consequences of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction without first hearing about some of the alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics and facts that are available. Consequently, one of the objectives of this class is to provide a range of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts to help workers gain a better understanding of the host of issues that are linked to excessive and hazardous drinking and how they can stop these issues from taking place.

Most recently Christine and the other VIPs, via feedback from employees, created a class that centers directly on acute drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Thursday morning a half hour before work and focuses chiefly on the differences between alcoholism and alcohol abuse, on some of the fundamental differences between statistics on alcohol abuse and statistics on alcoholism, and on the kinds of treatment that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an irresponsible manner.

Although each and every one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was anything but inexpensive, upper management personnel think that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a more productive, healthy, and safe work atmosphere.
