employees who are not alcohol-dependent, but occasionally drink too much. When developing the appropriate strategy to address workplace intoxication, employers need to address this important point. As you continue to review the statistics
and reflect on the prevalence of alcohol use and abuse in the workplace, ponder what strategies are appropriate for your organization. Please consider the goal of any prevention program is safety— not punitive actions against your most valuable assets, your employees. Workplace intervention programs are generally the first and last effective opportunities to assist individuals struggling with AUD. You will not only improve your botom line, but will help support our communities by providing effective assistance and returning
employees home with an improved mindset as they move through the recovery process. Tank you for your commitment to a
drug and alcohol free workplace. References
