Drugs and the workplace just don't mix. Yes, most users of illicit
drugs are employed adults and there's a high correlation between
levels of stress, income and alcohol abuse amongst professional and
managerial employees. But the risks associated with drug use and
abuse in the workplace have been well defined. Addiction at Work
enables you to understand the background and extent of the problem:
the cost of drug abuse to your organization; the role your own
organizational culture may have in encouraging drug misuse; the
risks associated with dangerous or stressful jobs. There are also
chapters to help you understand the symptoms of drug abuse and the
potential risks associated with perfectly legal prescription or
over-the-counter medicines. The right kind of drug policy can be a
significant weapon to fight this problem. So Addiction at Work
explores your responsibility as an employer and how to design,
communicate and implement a policy that is appropriate for your
organization. Finally, there are chapters on the tools and
techniques open to your organization for tackling the problem head
on; ways of addressing problem behaviours; the advantages and
disadvantages of drug screening and the ethics associated with this
practice; employee assistance programmes and specialist care and,
finally, the employment law issues around drugs. Addiction at Work
has been written by some of the world-authorities on drug use in
the workplace. It is an essential reference for organizations
seeking a way through the human, ethical and legal issues (and the
risk they present to any employer) of a social problem that is
increasingly impacting employees whatever their work or the nature
of their workplace.
