Drug or alcohol abuse is, unfortunately, a common occurrence at work.  Training your Managers and supervisors to be aware of employees who might be under the influence of drugs or alcohol is very important.  Recognizing employees who are abusing drugs or alcohol is the first step in getting them the help they need. This benefits both the business and the employees.  Our training for managers on Drug and Alcohol Awareness will teach your managers what they need to know.

This Drug and Alcohol Abuse Training for Managers Will Teach:

  • What is a manager’s role in recognizing drug or alcohol abuse while at work?
  • How big is the substance abuse problem in the United States?
  • What is an estimate of the number of employees who have a drug or alcohol problem? (It is estimated that 1 out of every 10 employees have substance abuse problems)
  • What are some problems associated with employees who have substance abuse issues? (Their productivity can be decreased, they can create a hostile work environment that affects other employees, they might damage your company’s reputation with customers, and much more)

What Does Drug and Alcohol Abuse Cost the Average Business?

  • Employees who are under the influence are five times more likely to suffer a work-related injury than a sober employee.
  • It is estimated that drug and alcohol use in the workplace causes businesses to lose almost 200 billion dollars annually.
