Reduce alcohol and drug abuse in your company
More than 85 percent of all Belgian companies have to contend with a drug or alcohol issue. Not only does it take a lot of money to correct errors and deal with absenteeism, but it also deteriorates the atmosphere. As well as increasing the risk of occupational accidents.
We tackle drugs and alcohol in the frame of our general health & safety model: We want all your employees to enjoy coming into work. Because it will result in an optimum performance.
Proactive and curative: The Securex approach in four phases
An effective alcohol and drugs policy has four pillars: Training and awareness, assistance in case of problematic use, regulations and education. Securex Health and Safety Solutions will guide you every step of the way.
Awareness
Employees who are aware of the dangers and consequences of abuse tend to be less susceptible to it. That is why Securex will raise an awareness session on ‘alcohol and other drugs’ at your company. The program is adapted for every company and the target group within the company. At any rate, we do discuss regulations regarding alcohol and drugs, provide background information on addiction, point out alarm signals and warn about the issues associated with detox. The large majority of your employees will not be abusers – and this information session wants to keep it that way.
Next to the information session, we also use brochures and posters to raise awareness.
Procedures for abuse and aid
Our prevention advisers in the field of psychosocial welfare have a lot of experience with substance abusers. They will provide the right assistance and guidance and will incite your employees to change their behaviour.
Is the problem more deeply-rooted? Then we will refer them to confidential aid and even to nearby curative institutions.
Regulations
It goes without saying that your company requires clear rules about what is permitted and prohibited when it comes to alcohol and drug abuse. In this frame, you cannot exceed the legal boundaries; at the same time, you also need to assure the safety and efficiency within your company. But you also need to ensure that your communication is clear: So that everybody knows and understands the rules. Rely on Securex to put together this package of rules and to adapt your labour regulations.
Training and coaching of executives
Like all other employees, your executives will be provided the information pertaining to legislation and the consequences and dangers of drug abuse. But we will also look into problem scenarios by means of video material and role-play during a two-day session. It will enable your team to identify potential problem situations much faster. Often revealing that the solution is still within reach.
Moreover, we also organize permanent individual coaching for key figures within your organization.
