Heather is a fifty-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large lead plating company.  In order to reduce the costs associated with work related injuries, increasing absenteeism, poor employee work performance, excessive sick days, and employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, Heather and the other members of top management established several programs that made the work atmosphere significantly more safe, more productive, and healthy.

For example, ten years ago Heather and the other VIPs established an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to top shelf counseling for their personal problems that could harm their work performance, personal well being, and their health.

Top Management Constructs a Modern Exercise and Workout Room Complete With a Personal Trainer During Business Hours, Scales, Exercise Equipment, Weights, Mirrors, and Exercise Charts

As another illustration, just about nine years ago Heather and the other VIPs constructed a state-of-the-art workout and exercise room complete with many different types of exercise equipment, scales, a personal trainer during business hours, exercise charts, mirrors, and weights.

In addition, roughly four-and-a-half years ago Heather and the other members of upper management invested in a purification system that filters all the drinking water that is available all through the building complex.  In the same way, three-and-a-half years ago, Heather and the other company executives started a “walking club” that is basically intended for employees who want to further develop their cardiovascular system.

Upper Management Institutes a Weight-Watchers Class and Employs a Weight-Loss Healthcare Professional to Supervise the Program

As another illustration, nearly two years ago, Heather and the other members of upper management created a “Weight-Watchers” class that currently meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 AM until noon. In addition, the company administrators hired a weight-loss professional to administer the program.

In the same way, two years ago Heather and the other company leaders put into operation a “Stop Smoking Club” for workers who want to learn how to quit or cut back on their smoking.

In the last nine months, in a joint venture with the Employee’s Assistance Program, Heather and the other VIPs initiated an “Anger Management” class for workers who want to learn how to better deal with their anger.

The Company Administrators Initiate a Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

In the last two months, Heather and the other members of top management established a drug and alcohol testing program that is associated with their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program.  In point of fact, Heather is the key individual 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.

One of the fundamental elements 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 commonly take place in the same individual.  It is hoped that understanding this information will be able to help an individual address both medical conditions and get the alcohol counseling and mental health counseling he or she needs.

The Company Administrators Start an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class

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 the reality that quite a few individuals do not comprehend the total impact of the results of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse without first reading about some of the alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that are available.  As a result, one of the goals of this class is to provide a mixture of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency facts and statistics in order to help workers gain a better comprehension of the massive number of problems that are associated with excessive and hazardous drinking and how they can avert these issues from transpiring.

Most recently, Heather and the other company leaders, via feedback from workers, initiated a class that focuses directly on severe drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”?  This class meets every Wednesday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses chiefly 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 individuals who drink in an irresponsible manner.

Although every single one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was fairly expensive, top management thinks that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with healthy, more productive, and safe working conditions.
