Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of problem-drinkers are not unemployed derelicts but are employed persons often with senior positions in commerce, the professions and industry. Furthermore, it is well-known that alcohol causes widespread absenteeism, inefficiency and accidents at work. Originally published in 1981, Alcohol Problems in Employment reviews the evidence relating to the general effects of alcohol misuse on employment and the special problems involved in certain ‘high-risk’ industries at the time. A number of international case studies are then presented to illustrate what was being done to counter the problem.

Download or read book Alcohol in Employment Settings written by D. Wayne Corneil and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 136 pages. 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).

Download or read book Employment Unemployment and Problem Drinking written by John Mullahy and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The misuse of alcoholic beverages ('problem drinking') has been demonstrated to result in enormous economic costs; most of these costs have been shown to be reduced productivity in the labor market. The purpose of this paper is to present sound structural estimates of the relationship between various measures of problem drinking and of employment and unemployment. The sample of approximately 15,000 observations is drawn from the 1988 Alcohol Survey of the National Health Interview Survey, the first dataset that enables nationally- representative estimates of alcohol abuse and dependence consistent with generally accepted medical criteria. The structural estimates of the effects of problem drinking on employment and labor market participation are obtained using methods proposed by Amemiya and by Heckman and MaCurdy. For our sample of males ages 25 to 59, we find that using the instrumental variable approach suggests that the negative impact of problem drinking on employment is even greater than that estimated using the OLS approach. Interestingly, the IV estimates on the samples of females change the sign from a positive impact of problem drinking on employment to a negative impact. Thus although the conclusions drawn from raw data comparisons and OLS regressions differ by gender, the IV estimates are very similar for men and women. For women, the unobserved heterogeneity masks the negative impact of problem drinking on employment when using OLS estimation methods.

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.

Download or read book Alcohol at Work written by Clive Tobutt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the European Union many individuals will partake in drinking a little wine with their lunch or dinner to aid their enjoyment of the meal or as an appetizer for food. Alcohol is also a drug of dependence. Some individuals will drink too much and some of them will become addicted. Access to alcohol, binge drinking, and younger drinkers can lead to unsafe workplaces, absenteeism, fraud and criminal behaviour. Alcohol at Work is a definitive guide to the problem, exploring its nature and scale and providing a complete range of ideas and techniques to help create a policy in the workplace and develop appropriate and effective measures for monitoring and tackling alcohol abuse. The key collective message is solve the problem - take the alcohol, not the person, out of the workplace. In the UK alone, research puts the cost of alcohol abuse in the workplace at £2 billion a year. This is a must-have reference for human resource, occupational health and risk managers, as well as those involved in tackling criminal behaviour such as fraud and violence at work resulting from alcohol abuse and addiction.
Download or read book Mapping the Social Consequences of Alcohol Consumption written by Harald Klingemann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on alcohol-related consequences has traditionally focused mainly on health aspects of alcohol consumption or effects which can be more easily quantified or measured. It is evident that alcohol has many consequences which can be characterised as `social' in nature and which are not, or not only, medical and are directly health-related. Such consequences include violence, crime, and psychosocial factors. The increasing relevance of consequences of alcohol consumption other than medical is also reflected in the second European Action Plan 2000-2004 of WHO, aiming at the prevention and reduction of harm done by alcohol to the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. This book attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of social consequences of alcohol consumption on the individual, group, organisational, and societal level. It is a result of a two-year collaborative study under the leadership of WHO-Euro with the participation of alcohol researchers from Finland, Germany, Norway, Scotland, and Switzerland. Although the book was written by experts in the field, it is targeted not only at scientists, but at all people dealing with alcohol-related problems in practice.
