Publisher's Synopsis
Many employers now have workplace policies in place to manage problems arising from the misuse of drugs and alcohol. In part, this is in response to concerns about issues including loss of productivity, poor performance, lateness, absenteeism, and the effect on the organisation's image and reputation. This booklet looks at why employers are introducing drug and alcohol policies, the scale of alcohol and drug use in the UK, the impact of alcohol and drug misuse on the health of individuals, and the impact of alcohol and drug misuse on organisations and the economy as a whole.
