Supportive Measures and Resources for Creating a Drug-Free Workplace

a road sign that reads "support, assistance, guidance"


A drug-free workplace is more achievable than you might think. HR and Safety managers can take proactive steps by integrating Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and substance abuse education into their workplace strategies.

 

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)


Employee Assistance Programs are designed to support employees facing personal challenges that may affect their work performance, including substance abuse. EAPs provide confidential counseling services, helping employees address issues before they escalate. By offering access to professional support, employers can ensure their staff have the resources they need to stay healthy and productive.

 

Substance Abuse Education and Prevention Programs


Prevention is a major component in maintaining a drug-free workplace. Education programs inform employees about the risks associated with substance abuse and promote healthy, safe behaviors. These programs can include workshops, training sessions, and informational materials that address the signs of substance abuse and the importance of seeking help.
 

By educating your workforce, you create an informed team that can recognize and respond to potential issues proactively. This not only helps in preventing substance abuse but also fosters a culture of openness and support, where employees feel comfortable seeking assistance when needed.
