Christine is a sixty-two-year-old woman who is the top administrator in the HR department at a large cadmium plating company. In order to reduce the costs associated with poor employee work performance, increasing absenteeism, excessive sick days, work related injuries, and employee alcohol abuse and alcoholism, Christine and the other company leaders put into operation some programs that made the work atmosphere substantially more productive, safe, and healthy.

As an example, ten years ago Christine and the other members of top management launched an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to quality psychological counseling for their personal problems that could adversely influence their health, personal well-being, and their work performance.

As another illustration, nearly eight years ago Christine and the other members of top management assembled a technologically advanced workout and exercise room complete with a personal trainer during business hours, scales, many different types of exercise equipment, weights, mirrors, and exercise charts.

As another illustration, about two-and-a-half years ago, Christine and the other company administrators developed a "Weight-Watchers" class that currently meets every weekday at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM. In addition, the company administrators signed up a weight-loss trainer to administer the program.

In the last six months, in conjunction with the Employee's Assistance Program, Christine and the other members of top management started an "Anger Management" class for workers who want to get a better handle on their temper.

In the last two-and-a-half months, Christine and the other company leaders instituted an alcohol and drug testing program that is tied into their drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In point of fact, Christine is the key individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the workers about the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program as well as the drug and alcohol testing program.

Another relatively recent enhancement to the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled "Alcohol Statistics and Facts." The reasoning behind this alcohol statistics facts class is that many people are unsuccessful in their attempt to appreciate the full impact of the effects of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse without first getting exposed to some of the alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction facts and statistics that are available. As a result, one of the goals of this class is to provide a mixture of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction statistics and facts in order to help workers gain a better comprehension of the huge number of difficulties that are associated with abusive and excessive drinking and how they can avert these issues from happening.

Most recently Christine and the other company administrators, by way of suggestions from workers, started a class that focuses directly on severe drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Wednesday morning a half hour before work and focuses primarily on the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, on some of the fundamental differences between statistics on alcohol abuse and statistics on alcoholism, and on the different kinds of counseling that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as individuals who drink in an irresponsible manner.

Even though every one of these preventative maintenance and health programs was not inexpensive, top management personnel reason that they are several thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with more productive, healthy, and safe working conditions.
