Download or read book Organizational Change and Drug Free Workplaces written by Thomas E. Backer and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-06-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1986, when America's current perception of a drug abuse crisis in the workplace began, many challenges and potential solutions have been identified. As we enter the 1990s, real progress in awareness and action has been made in many public and private American workplaces. However, the most important accomplishment--actual reduction in the number of persons using drugs in the workforce--is considerably more difficult to achieve. Research is being conducted in a number of employment settings to document how this can be done. While the results to date are encouraging, it is also clear that much remains to be done. Evidence from the national research reported in this book shows that many organizations regard their achievements on this front as modest at best, even though they have installed systematic programs aimed at reducing the problems of worker drug abuse. The organizational change approach required to achieve drug-free workplaces is the main subject of this book. Based upon findings from a three-year national research study, Thomas Backer and Kirk O'Hara examine what has been done to combat drug abuse in the workplace. They place the results of their inquiry within the larger context of organizational change theory. The critical secondary issues of responses to AIDS in the workplace and containing employer health care costs through managed care are also addressed. This book's focus on programmatic responses to workplace drug abuse at the day-to-day implementation level will be welcomed by substance abuse professionals, designers and directors of employee assistance programs, human resources and benefits professionals, and managers concerned about substance abuse in the workplace.

Download or read book Preventing Workplace Substance Abuse written by Joel B. Bennett and published by APA Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, editors J. B. Bennett and W. E. K. Lehman shed light on the limitations of drug testing and demonstrate how individual and organizational wellness efforts can more effectively cut employee alcohol and drug abuse. In an era of widespread drug testing, employee substance abuse continues unabated, and related safety, productivity, and medical costs persist. Why? Testing alone, say the editors, ignores alcohol use and fails to address the underlying causes of substance abuse, including contextual workplace factors like a "drinking climate." This volume offers an approach that is broader and more effective than coercion in inducing employees to change. /// Chapter authors describe interventions linked to other areas of individual or organizational wellness, such as stress management, cardiovascular health, and team building, which appeal to a wider or more holistic sense of wellness. Those who design, implement, or advise on workplace prevention programs, as well as policymakers and business owners, will benefit from the research described and will find options that fit a range of organizational cultures, policy orientations, and employee motivation levels.
