| Summary |
In this book, editors J. B. Bennett and W. E. K. Lehman shed light on the limitations of drug testing and demonstrate how individual and organizational wellness efforts can more effectively cut employee alcohol and drug abuse. In an era of widespread drug testing, employee substance abuse continues unabated, and related safety, productivity, and medical costs persist. Why? Testing alone, say the editors, ignores alcohol use and fails to address the underlying causes of substance abuse, including contextual workplace factors like a "drinking climate." This volume offers an approach that is broader and more effective than coercion in inducing employees to change. /// Chapter authors describe interventions linked to other areas of individual or organizational wellness, such as stress management, cardiovascular health, and team building, which appeal to a wider or more holistic sense of wellness. Those who design, implement, or advise on workplace prevention programs, as well as policymakers and business owners, will benefit from the research described and will find options that fit a range of organizational cultures, policy orientations, and employee motivation levels.
