Substance Abuse
A heavy toll on your bottom line
Substance abuse in the workplace presents a serious liability for businesses – lost productivity, an increase in health insurance claims, serious injury and even death.
Often times, business owners, managers and front-line supervisors are uncertain of how to deal with the problem. Employees may know when a co-worker is suffering, but don’t know who to talk to or how to help.
It is known that alcohol and drug abuses costs businesses billions of dollars a year. Employees abusing alcohol and drugs are:
- Less productive.
- Are more likely to injure themselves or someone else.
- Are off sick three times as often.
- Are five times more likely to file worker's compensation claims.
But the dollars don’t measure the cost of human suffering to the addict, their families and their fellow workers. In a recent study, 21 percent of employees said their own productivity had been affected because of a co-worker's drinking.
