Managing Alcohol and Other Drugs in the Workplace

February 7, 2014 By Colleen Morris Leave a Comment

Working in hospitality can be stressful. It means that lots of people rely on drugs or alcohol to keep going. But when a person develops a dependence upon alcohol and/or other drugs, to the observer it is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The person is rarely aware of the impact their ‘habit’ has already made on their lifestyle: personal health and wellbeing; relationships with partner, family and friends; employment; accommodation; these are all compromised.

In an interview with Ken Burgin from Profitable Hospitality, Colleen discusses the issue of how an employer inhospitality manages an employee whose behaviour is compromised by alcohol and/or other drugs. Listen to the podcast here.

Do you need alcohol or drugs to get through the day?Are you concerned about a colleague, friend or family member? Contact Colleen on 0434 337 245 or Duncan on 0434 331 243 for a FREE 10 minute consultation on how we can best help you orĀ book online now.
