FOR INDUSTRIES |

 |
| |
Alcoholism has been a major problem affecting the industries. Excessive drinking has been on the increase among employees. It presents a major threat to the safety, security, productivity and health of the work force. It leads to unpredictable absenteeism, accidents, deteriorating discipline and causes constant worry over product quality. When addressed as a 'health and safety' issue, it can save social drinkers from becoming problem drinkers, and problem drinkers to accept hellp and become productive employees. |
| |
To enable industries to deal with this problem among their employees and improve their quality of work perfomance, TTK Hospital has developed a comprehensive package. As part of the package, the management and union members are encouraged to develop a policy towards creating an alcohol free environment in their workplace. |
| |
Apart from conducting effective prevention programmes, TTK Hospital provides methods to supervisors and managers to identify early phase problem drinkers through poor job performance. In addition, it helps in offering treatment, rehabilitation and follow-up services. |
