Alcoholics Anonymous offers free advice on how to tackle any serious drinking problems that you may have encountered within your workforce.
The primary purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous is to help those with alcohol problems achieve and maintain sobriety through the 12 step program of recovery advocated at its nationwide meetings.
Your company may already have an Alcohol Policy in place to assist any problem drinker in your employment and we in Alcoholics Anonymous believe the more options at the disposal of the sufferer, the better is the possibility of their recovery.
In order to explain what we do, members of Alcoholics Anonymous are available to discuss ways we can be of specific help and to make presentations to management and staff at no charge. We can also provide free literature, posters and leaflets.
Please contact us if you think we can be of assistance. We will be delighted to tell you more if it will help you decide the way forward. More information for the professional community can also be accessed via our website: www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk
Alcoholism in the workplace: Five warning signs you shouldn't ignore
1. Not turning up for work: Frequent absences aren't just bad luck. The impact of this is that the team suffers and trust erodes within the team.
2. Decline in work performance: Missed deadlines, careless errors and low productivity. A highly performing employee may be battling with dependency.
3. Poor decision making: Bad calls aren't always just bad judgement. One mistake can have big consequences for the individual and the business.
4. Secretive drinking: Hiding alcohol is a red flag. Secrecy can mean shame, fear and denial. All barriers of getting help.
5. Mood swings and irritability: Sudden anger or emotional outbursts? Colleague relationships can suffer and a toxic workplace can form.
Is alcohol impacting your workplace? Alcohol Anonymous can help.
