Heather is a fifty-nine-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large brass fabricating company. In order to trim down the costs correlated with work related injuries, poor employee work performance, excessive sick days, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, and increasing absenteeism, Heather and the other VIPs put into operation several programs that made the work environment considerably more productive, safe, and healthy.

As an illustration, fourteen years ago Heather and the other members of top management initiated an Employee’s Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to quality psychological counseling for their personal problems that could negatively influence their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.

The Company Leaders Assemble a New Workout and Exercise Room Complete With Mirrors, Scales, Exercise Charts, Weights, Exercise Equipment, and a Personal Trainer During Business Hours

As another illustration, nearly seven years ago Heather and the other company administrators built a new exercise and workout room complete with exercise charts, a personal trainer during business hours, many different types of exercise equipment, mirrors, weights, and scales.

Moreover, around three years ago Heather and the other company administrators invested in a purification system that filters all the drinking water that is available in the building. In much the same way, three years ago, Heather and the other members of upper management started a “walking club” that is mainly intended for workers who want to further develop their cardiovascular system.

The Company Executives Institute a Weight-Watchers Class and Hire a Weight-Loss Professional to Manage the Program

As another example, just about two-and-a-half years ago, Heather and the other members of upper management initiated a “Weight-Watchers” class that at this time meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 PM until 5:50 PM. Moreover, the company administrators signed up a weight-loss professional to oversee the program.

In a similar manner, a year ago Heather and the other company leaders instituted a “Stop Smoking Club” for workers who want to learn how 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 VIPs implemented an “Anger Management” class for employees who want to learn how to better manage their anger.

The Company Administrators Initiate a Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

In the last four months, Heather and the other company executives instituted a alcohol and drug testing program that is linked with their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In fact, Heather 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.

One of the essential components of the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled “Alcoholism and Depression” that meets every Thursday after work. The basic idea with this class is informing workers that excessive drinking and depression regularly take place in the same individual. It is hoped that understanding this information will be able to help an individual address both medical issues and get the alcohol therapy and mental health therapy he or she needs.

Top Management Launches an Alcohol Statistics and Facts Class

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 the reality that quite a few people do not grasp the total impact of the results of alcoholism and alcohol abuse without first learning about some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency statistics and facts that are available. As a consequence, one of the objectives of this class is to provide a variety of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency statistics and facts to help workers gain a better understanding of the large number of issues that are associated with irresponsible and excessive drinking and how they can prevent these issues from occurring.

Most recently, Heather and the other company administrators, via suggestions from workers, created a class that centers directly on acute drinking entitled “What is Alcoholism”? This class meets every Wednesday morning a half hour before work and focuses mainly on the differences between alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse, on the stages of alcoholism, and on the different kinds of therapy that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as individuals who drink in an irresponsible manner.

Although every one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was not inexpensive, upper management reasons that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with safe, more productive, and healthy working conditions.
