Is your bottom line suffering because of substance abuse in your workplace?
More than 7% of American workers abuse or are addicted to alcohol, according to the latest National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. National Institute on Drug Abuse statistics show that the largest expense for employers today is from injuries and health problems related to the abuse of alcohol and the indirect losses from absenteeism, reduced productivity, workplace injuries, and worker’s comp and disability claims.
