As an employer, you want to have healthy and happy people working for you. You care for them and their well-being, but you also need them to be productive. When an addiction rears its ugly head in the workplace, the consequences can be devastating. It can cause an increase in health care costs, lost productivity, and in the worst case scenario, a devastating accident on the job that may result in injuries or even death. To help your employees and to keep your workplace as safe as possible, consider establishing an employee assistance program or EAP.
