at some point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, it is almost impossible to forbid your employees from consuming alcohol in their spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should point out the consequences of excessive drinking and make your employees aware that frequent drinking outside of work can seriously affect their work performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Excessive use of alcohol can cause<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Memory problems and dementia<\/strong>,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frequent hangovers<\/strong> affecting motor

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topic #10: Drug abuse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Illicit drug use has dire consequences in both the personal and professional lives of

think that everyone is aware that drug abuse will affect their performance (and, therefore, that they should avoid it), studies have shown that 1 out of 11 professionals in the US have <a

cures and solutions once a problem appears.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OSHA warns that many companies have an approach that tends to resolve problems once they appear instead of stopping them from occurring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That approach might benefit companies in the short term.

social responsibility is not directly related to safety at the workplace, it most certainly contributes to the overall well-being of employees.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a company is in a polluting industry, discussing how it can preserve the environment (for example, by investing in filters) would show everyone it cares about the environment and, by extension, society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies should also take a stance regarding social issues and raise awareness about tolerance and inclusion by organizing panel discussions where employees can share
