Drugs in the Workforce

Paper Summary:

The paper examines the problem defined in the article and explains that it is the escalating issue of drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace. The paper discusses that while many businesses are aware that such a problem is evident, employers often fail to realize that they have the power to control the issue and prevent drug and alcohol abuse from being a prolonged concern in the workforce.

From the Paper:

"Issues related to this problem include the employer's creation of a company drug policy, the employer's enforcement of that policy, drug testing and addressing the problem of drug use throughout industries. Eckersley (1995) contends that the only method of changing the national drug problem in the work force is for employers to implement a drug program and then gather support from those employees that are not afflicted with a drug related problem (p. 13)."
