Our Drug & Alcohol Abuse for Managers training course equips supervisors and managers with the knowledge and tools to identify substance abuse in the workplace, respond appropriately, and guide affected employees toward help. Substance abuse is a serious problem in every industry — when drug or alcohol use impacts job performance, it becomes a supervisory concern with real consequences for workplace safety, productivity, and organizational liability. This 17-minute program covers the specific responsibilities of management, how to recognize substance abuse indicators, how to use Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), and how to handle workplace incidents involving substance abuse without enabling continued behavior.
