Drug and Alcohol Training Service
Training Services To Help Businesses Successfully Tackle Workplace Drug and Alcohol Related Problems
Statistics show an increase in real costs to British Industry through drug and alcohol misuse resulting in absenteeism, accidents, damaged reputation, low productivity, legal costs, retraining etc.
- 17 million working days are lost each year due to alcohol misuse
- British Industry loses £6.4 billion per year due to sickness absence as a result of alcohol use and £1.4 billion due to drug misuse
- Drug misusers are three and a half times more likely to injure themselves or someone else at work
- An employee under the influence of drugs or alcohol will only achieve 67% of their work potential
Addressing drug and alcohol misuse in the workplace by providing a workplace drug and alcohol policy and giving managers and supervisors training in how to offer support and counselling is far more productive and cost effective than instigating protracted and expensive dismissal or punitive measures. By demonstrating corporate social responsibility, employers will also encourage staff and potential customers to view them as 'caring employers'.
"The need for companies to address drugs and alcohol in the workplace is an issue, not merely for employers, but also for employees as it is their well-being and safety that is at stake. Lloyds TSB along with Rolls-Royce, fully support the scheme, as indeed do many other high profile businesses, who recognise the value of the expert advice and professional training provided by the scheme.
Please give the 'Employer's Assistance Scheme' careful consideration, as the problem of drugs and alcohol directly and indirectly affects us all".
