If employee substance abuse problem becomes extensive, then it disturbs the workplace. So, coworkers and supervisors should take prompt action.
For Coworkers:
Do not allow addictive behaviors by ignoring, excusing, or fixing the coworker who abuses drugs. Based on the situation and relationship with the coworker (drug abuse), they have to take supporting steps to help them. They should try talking to coworker who is drug abuse about their concerns in straightforward, merciful way. Coworkers should also be prepared to hear excuses, apologies, angry remarks, tearful pleas, and claims of innocence from drug abused co-worker. They should just provide non-judgmental support and help them to undertake treatment but should not try to solve their problem.
For Employers:
A company’s staff is its most profitable resource. Every employer should design a plan in place for approaching addiction in the workplace and providing treatment for those who require it. Research reveals that addiction treatment costs less than replacement of an employee and has more significance in terms of customer satisfaction, strengthened morale, and improved job performance.
