Top Management Personnel Put Into Operation Numerous Programs In Order To Cut The Costs Correlated With Poor Employee Work Performance
Christine is a sixty-two-year-old woman who is the director of the HR department at a large gold plating company. To reduce the costs related to increasing absenteeism, work related injuries, excessive sick days, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, and poor employee work performance, Christine and the other company administrators instituted some programs that made the work environment substantially more productive, safe, and healthy.
As an illustration, ten years ago Christine and the other members of upper management established an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to first-rate psychological counseling for their personal problems that could negatively affect their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.
As another illustration, around eight years ago Christine and the other members of upper management erected an avant-garde exercise and workout room complete with a personal trainer during business hours, scales, many different types of exercise equipment, weights, mirrors, and exercise charts.
As another example, about two-and-a-half years ago, Christine and the other VIPs developed a "Weight-Watchers" class that at present meets every workday at 5:00 PM until 6:00 PM. Furthermore, the company administrators hired a weight-loss trainer to oversee the program.
In the last twelve months, in conjunction with the Employee's Assistance Program, Christine and the other members of upper management established an "Anger Management" class for workers who want to learn how to better control their temper.
In the last four months, Christine and the other company leaders established a drug and alcohol testing program that is tied into their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Christine is the primary 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 many people do not grasp 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. As a result, one of the goals of this class is to provide a range of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency facts and statistics in order to help employees gain a better comprehension of the plethora of problems that are associated with abusive and irresponsible drinking and how they can stop these difficulties from transpiring.
Most recently Christine and the other company administrators, through suggestions from workers, developed a class that focuses directly on severe drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Thursday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses essentially on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, on some of the essential differences between statistics on alcohol abuse and statistics on alcoholism, and on the different kinds of therapy that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an excessive manner.
Even though each and every one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was anything but easy on the pocketbook, the company executives reason that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with safe, healthy, and more productive working conditions.
