Understanding Substance Abuse and Addiction in the Workplace

Drugs and Alcohol in the workplace is a rising concern. With an estimated seventy-seven percent of illegal drug use occurring with people who are employed, an employee drug and alcohol abuse policy is important. The estimated three hundred sixty-six billion dollars a year impact is well worth each and every employee’s focus and attention. A Drug-Free workplace policy aims to send a clear message to employees that drug and alcohol use in the workplace is prohibited, while also encouraging employees who do have a problem to voluntarily seek help.
These policies exist to not only protect the health and safety of all employees, but to also safeguard its employees from theft, destruction of property, protection of trade secrets, maintaining product quality, and to comply with applicable laws. While policies are a major part of employee’s safety, the cost and impact of substance abuse and addiction is important to also pay close attention to.
