Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first truly global exchange of ideas about Employee Assistance Programs--initiated by the D. Wayne Corneil, President of EASNA, the Employee Assistance Society of North America. Focusing on the impact of alcohol-related problems upon employment settings, experts from Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, and Poland provide valuable insights into the current state of alcohol-related problems in their countries, attitudes toward alcohol, the effects of alcohol use on the workplace and society, and education and treatment programs that have proven successful with employees who need help. They also address other significant, often controversial issues--possible causes of increased alcohol consumption in various countries, functions of EAPs, and the efforts of WHO (World Health Organization) and the ILO (International Labour Organization) in combating the alcohol-related problems. Their fascinating examples of cultural attitudes about drinking and staggering statistics reflecting the universal nature of the problem of alcohol in the workplace illustrate precisely how alcohol-related problems disrupt the workplace worldwide and add billions of dollars annually to the costs of health care and goods and services. An important book for those who consult with employers and implement employee assistance programs, Alcohol in Employment Settings offers a unique view of how the economic, cultural, and social norms in other parts of the world--fundamentally different from those in North America--affect business operations, employment conditions, and the impact of employee assistance programs. A most timely and practical volume, Alcohol in Employment Settings is an important compilation of the results of a recent study of alcohol in the workplace conducted by the WHO and the ILO (International Labour Organization).

The book explores dimensions of the student/field instructor relationship such as goals and expectations, development of professional identity, uses of the self, issues of diversity, authority, dependency, autonomy, value dilemmas, and the structure of supervision. It presents a framework for teaching field instruction and uses the framework to explore its relevance, meaning, and use in the following settings: perinatal AIDS program public child welfare child advocacy agency public school occupational health and safety project family service psychiatric hospital case management program for the elderly day center for the elderly Field Instruction in Social Work Settings is the only book available relating field instruction to the specific context in which it occurs. It recognizes the social work field’s diminished budget and increased demands and points out the critical necessity of students learning to address and manage policy and organizational issues as they develop their social work skills. This book is an aid to field instructors balancing increases in enrollment and curriculum content and decreases in placements and budgets. It integrates all of these concerns with field practice and seeks to provide a model for those working in the field as instructors and students. Field Instruction in Social Work Settings applies classroom material to social work settings and emphasizes the value of field instruction by relating it to the branches of child welfare, mental health, and health care. It allows the reader to integrate social work policy and advocacy with field work, and it provides the reader with an appreciation of how social work and field instruction can work together directly.

Download or read book Alcohol Problem Intervention in the Workplace written by Paul M. Roman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1990-07-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, social scientists have devoted serious attention to the relationship between alcohol and the workplace. In recent years, awareness of the tremendous costs, both human and financial, associated with alcoholism has led to a dramatic increase in both scholarly and practical interest in the field. Although researchers working in this area are relatively few, they have sustained a lively interest in the alcohol/work nexus and have attracted others to the field through conferences where ideas and research strategies are exchanged. The larger part of Alcohol Problem Intervention in the Workplace provides an up-to-date thorough examination of the problem, the research, and the possible solutions. This volume is directed toward both practitioners and researchers, providing a wide range of new data and new ideas that bear upon coping with alcohol problems in the workplace. Part I addresses issues regarding the distribution and correlates of alcohol problems and alcohol use among employees. Part II is centered on issues associated with Employee Assistance Programs. And Part III is a general conclusion and overview offering suggestions and implications for the practitioner in the workplace. Because this collection supplies the most current thinking and information on controlling alcohol problems in the workplace, it will be of particular interest to human resource management and to employee assistance specialists, who are now required to pass a certification examination.
