Book Description
In this book, editors J. B. Bennett and W. E. K. Lehman shed light on the limitations of drug testing and demonstrate how individual and organizational wellness efforts can more effectively cut employee alcohol and drug abuse. In an era of widespread drug testing, employee substance abuse continues unabated, and related safety, productivity, and medical costs persist. Why? Testing alone, say the editors, ignores alcohol use and fails to address the underlying causes of substance abuse, including contextual workplace factors like a "drinking climate." This volume offers an approach that is broader and more effective than coercion in inducing employees to change. /// Chapter authors describe interventions linked to other areas of individual or organizational wellness, such as stress management, cardiovascular health, and team building, which appeal to a wider or more holistic sense of wellness. Those who design, implement, or advise on workplace prevention programs, as well as policymakers and business owners, will benefit from the research described and will find options that fit a range of organizational cultures, policy orientations, and employee motivation levels.

Category : Drug abuse
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Drugs and the workplace just don't mix. Yet most users of illicit drugs are employed adults and there's a high correlation between levels of stress, income and alcohol abuse amongst professional and managerial employees. And the risks associated with drug use and abuse in the workplace have been well defined. Addiction at Work enables you to understand the background and extent of the problem: the cost of drug abuse to your organization; the role your own organizational culture may have in encouraging drug misuse; the risks associated with dangerous or stressful jobs. There are also chapters to help you understand the symptoms of drug abuse and the potential risks associated with perfectly legal prescription or over-the-counter medicines. Addiction at Work has been written by some of the world-authorities on drug use in the workplace. It is an essential reference for organizations seeking a way through the human, ethical and legal issues (and the risk they present to any employer) of a social problem that is increasingly impacting employees whatever their work or the nature of their workplace.
