The Company Executives Institute Several Programs To Trim Down The Costs Associated With Poor Employee Work Performance
Christine is a forty-three-year-old woman who is the director of the HR department at a large silver fabricating company. To reduce 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 implemented a number of programs that made the work environment substantially more productive, healthy, and safe.
As an illustration, ten years ago Christine and the other company leaders established an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to quality counseling for their personal problems that could adversely affect their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.
As another example, approximately eight years ago Christine and the other company leaders erected a technologically advanced workout and exercise room complete with weights, many different types of exercise equipment, scales, exercise charts, 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 developed a "Weight-Watchers" class that at this time meets every workday at 4:30 PM until 5:50 PM. In addition, top management hired a weight-loss trainer to oversee the program.
In the last thirteen months, in conjunction 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 manage their anger issues.
In the last five months, Christine and the other company leaders initiated a drug and alcohol testing program that is tied into 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 testing program as well as the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program.
Another relatively 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 many individuals do not recognize the full impact of the consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism without first getting exposed to some of the alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that are available. As a result, one of the objectives of this class is to provide a range of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts to help employees gain a better comprehension of the multitude of problems that are associated with hazardous and excessive drinking and how they can stop these issues from occurring.
Most recently, Christine and the other members of top management, through suggestions from employees, developed a class that focuses directly on acute drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Thursday morning a half hour before work and focuses mostly on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcoholism, on some of the key 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 abusive manner.
Even though each and every one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was anything but inexpensive, the VIPs think that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with a more productive, safe, and healthy work environment.
