Our managers liked this training and it gave them a bit more confidence in dealing with potential issues.
Very good we liked it
Gave our managers a good overview so they can better help their direct reports if they see a drug or alcohol problem.
All managers and supervisors should go through this training. Unfortunately, these issues can be very common depending on the type of business you operate.
We are trying to provide more support (training) for our supervisors and this video was specifically asked for by them. They gave it a big thumbs up.
