Warren is a forty-eight-year-old man who is the director of the human resources department at a large steel distribution company. To decrease the costs correlated with work related injuries, increasing absenteeism, poor employee work performance, excessive sick days, and employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, Warren and the other company executives initiated a number of programs that made the work atmosphere considerably more healthy, safe, and more productive.

As an illustration, eleven years ago Warren and the other company administrators put into operation an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to top shelf therapy for their personal problems that could adversely affect their work performance, health, and their personal well being.

Top Management Erects An Avant-Garde Exercise and Workout Room Complete With Exercise Charts, Mirrors, Weights, Scales, a Professional Trainer During Business Hours, and Exercise Equipment

As another example, around six-and-a-half years ago Warren and the other company administrators erected a modern exercise and workout room complete with a personal trainer during business hours, scales, many different types of exercise equipment, weights, mirrors, and exercise charts.

Furthermore, just about three-and-a-half years ago Warren and the other members of top management invested in a purification system that filters all the water that is obtainable throughout the building. Likewise, three years ago, Warren and the other members of upper management started a “walking club” that is basically intended for employees who want to learn how to boost their cardiovascular system.

The Company Leaders Put Into Operation a Weight-Watchers Class and Hire a Weight-Loss Healthcare Professional to Oversee the Program

As another example, roughly a year-and-a-half ago, Warren and the other VIPs sponsored a “Weight-Watchers” class that currently meets every workday at 11 AM until noon. In addition, the VIPs hired a weight-loss healthcare professional to oversee the program.

Likewise, a year ago Warren and the other members of top management initiated a “Stop Smoking Club” for workers who want to refrain from smoking.

In the last seven months, in a joint venture with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Warren and the other members of upper management initiated an “Anger Management” class for workers who want to learn how to better manage their anger.

Upper Management Implements a Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

In the last four-and-a-half months, Warren and the other members of top management implemented a drug and alcohol testing program that is related to their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Warren is the key 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 essential components of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Wednesday after work. The primary idea with this class is informing workers that excessive drinking and depression often occur in the same person. It is hoped that realizing this information will be able to help a person address both medical conditions and get the alcohol treatment and mental health counseling he or she requires.

The Company Leaders Institute an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class

Another fairly recent addition 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 numerous people fail to comprehend the total impact of the consequences of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction without first learning about some of the alcoholism and alcohol abuse facts and statistics that are available. Consequently, one of the objectives of this class is to provide a mixture of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts in order to help employees gain a better realization of the plethora of difficulties that are related to excessive and irresponsible drinking and how they can avert these difficulties from taking place.

Most recently, Warren and the other company executives, by way of suggestions from employees, created a class that centers directly on severe drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Thursday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses for the most part on the differences between alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the different types of rehab that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an abusive manner.

Even though every single one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was anything but inexpensive, upper management believes that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with healthy, safe, and more productive working conditions.
