Christine is a fifty-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the human resources department at a large plastics finishing company. To decrease the costs related to excessive sick days, poor employee work performance, employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, increasing absenteeism, and work related injuries, Christine and the other company administrators put into operation several programs that made the work atmosphere significantly more safe, healthy, and more productive.

As an illustration, eleven years ago Christine and the other VIPs implemented an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to quality therapy for their personal problems that could unfavorably influence their personal well-being, work performance, and their health.

As another example, approximately nine years ago Christine and the other VIPs constructed an avant-garde workout and exercise room complete with mirrors, weights, a personal trainer during business hours, scales, many different types of exercise equipment, and exercise charts.

As another illustration, around two years ago, Christine and the other members of top management created a "Weight-Watchers" class that presently meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:00 PM until 6:00 PM. In addition, upper management signed up a weight-loss nurse to manage the program.

In the last thirteen months, in conjunction with the Employee's Assistance Program, Christine and the other VIPs initiated an "Anger Management" class for workers who want to get a better handle on their anger.

In the last four-and-a-half months, Christine and the other VIPs put into operation a drug and alcohol testing program that is tied into their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. Indeed, Christine is the primary individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the employees about the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program as well as the drug and alcohol testing program.

Another fairly recent addition to the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled "Alcohol Statistics and Facts." The rationale behind this alcohol statistics facts class is that several people fail to grasp the full impact of the results of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency without first hearing about some of the alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics and facts that are available. As a result, one of the goals of this class is to provide a variety of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency statistics and facts to help workers gain a better understanding of the host of problems that are associated with hazardous and abusive drinking and how they can prevent these difficulties from happening.

Most recently Christine and the other members of upper management, by way of feedback from employees, developed a class that focuses directly on severe drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Tuesday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses mainly on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction, on some of the basic differences between statistics on alcohol abuse and statistics on alcoholism, and on the types of treatment that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in an abusive manner.

Even though every one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was anything but easy on the pocketbook, top management personnel believe that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their workers with a more productive, healthy, and safe work atmosphere.
