Drugs and Alcohol Awareness for Managers
It is almost inevitable that drug and alcohol misuse amongst staff will, at some point, have an impact on your organisation. Whether it is through lateness and absenteeism, lower productivity and poor performance from individual staff members, or the even greater issue of a potential impact on safety, substance misuse has the potential to harm your organisation.
Our Drug and Alcohol Awareness for Managers eLearning course is designed to inform managers of the risks associated with alcohol and substance misuse, to help them understand their legal position as an employer, to show them how to identify the early warning signs that someone is developing a substance misuse problem and to provide them with strategies on how to deal with this situation.
It also identifies useful preventative measures that can be put in place and explains the benefits of an organisational drug and alcohol policy.
