Alcohol Problem Intervention in the Workplace

Meer over het boek

Since the 1950s, the relationship between alcohol and the workplace has garnered significant attention from social scientists. Recent awareness of the substantial human and financial costs of alcoholism has spurred increased scholarly and practical interest in this area. Although the number of researchers is limited, their engagement in the alcohol/work nexus has fostered a vibrant exchange of ideas and strategies, particularly through conferences. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of the issue, current research, and potential solutions, aimed at both practitioners and researchers. Part I explores the distribution and correlates of alcohol problems among employees. Part II focuses on Employee Assistance Programs, while Part III provides a general conclusion with suggestions and implications for practitioners in the workplace. This collection presents the latest insights and data on managing alcohol-related issues at work, making it especially relevant for human resource management and employee assistance specialists, who must now pass a certification examination.
