Over 14 million Americans struggle with alcoholism. As a supervisor, there’s a possibility that you’ll need to manage someone dealing with alcohol abuse in the workplace. This is a difficult issue to handle because alcohol is legal for people over 21 in the U.S., so it can be more challenging to pinpoint and deal with than drug use. In this program, we’re going to talk about how to view these types of problems among employees as performance issues, not substance issues. We’ll cover policies regarding alcohol abuse in the workplace, signs to look out for, the steps to take to deal with performance issues, and how to help an employee who admits to alcohol abuse.
