Heather is a sixty-two-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large aluminum siding company. In order to cut the costs associated with excessive sick days, increasing absenteeism, work related injuries, employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and poor employee work performance, Heather and the other company executives established a number of programs that made the work atmosphere substantially more productive, healthy, and safe.

As an illustration, fourteen years ago Heather and the other company executives instituted an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to professional psychological counseling for their personal problems that could harm their work performance, health, and their personal well being.

The VIPs Construct a Technologically Advanced Exercise and Workout Room Complete With Scales, Mirrors, a Professional Trainer During Business Hours, Weights, Exercise Equipment, and Exercise Charts

As another illustration, nearly nine years ago Heather and the other members of top management constructed an avant-garde workout and exercise room complete with exercise charts, many different types of exercise equipment, mirrors, weights, scales, and a personal trainer during business hours.

In addition, around three years ago Heather and the other members of top management invested in a distillation system that filters all the drinking water that is available all through the building. In much the same way, a year-and-a-half ago, Heather and the other company administrators started a “walking club” that targets employees who want to build up their cardiovascular system.

The Company Executives Launch a Weight-Watchers Class and Employ a Weight-Loss Nurse to Manage the Program

As another example, just about a year-and-a-half ago, Heather and the other company executives developed a “Weight-Watchers” class that at present meets every weekday at 11 AM until noon. Furthermore, the company administrators signed up a weight-loss healthcare professional to oversee the program.

In much the same way, a year ago Heather and the other members of top management instituted a “Stop Smoking Club” for employers who want to quit or cut back on their smoking.

In the last thirteen months, in conjunction with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Heather and the other company administrators launched an “Anger Management” class for employees who want to learn how to better control their anger issues.

Top Management Puts Into Operation An Alcohol and Drug Testing Program

In the last two-and-a-half months, Heather and the other members of top management started a alcohol and drug testing program that is associated with their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In actual fact, Heather 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 elements of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Thursday after work. The essential idea with this class is informing workers that hazardous drinking and depression many times happen in the same person. It is hoped that knowing this information will be able to help a person address both medical issues and get the alcohol therapy and mental health counseling he or she needs.

The Company Leaders Institute an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class

Another fairly recent enhancement 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 several individuals do not appreciate the total impact of the consequences of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse without first learning about some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction 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 facts and statistics in order to help workers gain a better realization of the plethora of difficulties that are related to excessive and hazardous drinking and how they can prevent these difficulties from taking place.

Most recently, Heather and the other VIPs, through suggestions from workers, started a class that focuses directly on acute drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Tuesday morning an hour before work and focuses essentially on the differences between alcoholism and alcohol abuse, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the different forms of therapy that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in a hazardous manner.

Even though every single one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was anything but easy on the pocketbook, the company executives think that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with safe, healthy, and more productive working conditions.
