Substance abuse is a huge, worldwide problem. In the United States alone there are over 50 million binge drinkers, 17 million illegal drug users and almost 15 million people who abuse prescription medications. Most substance abusers have jobs. In fact, it is estimated that one out of every ten workers has a substance abuse problem. An employee with an alcohol or drug problem can decrease productivity, create a hostile work environment and damage a company's good name. Worst of all, the actions of a worker who is "under the influence" can completely undermine a company's efforts to keep people safe.

The first in a two-part series on dealing with drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace, the CD-ROM "Dealing with Drug and Alcohol Abuse… for Employees," discusses the various types of substance abuse that are found in the workplace, how they can affect an employee's work situation and what employees themselves can do to help keep their workplace drug and alcohol free.  The CD-ROM  includes information on:

• How substances are typically abused by employees.
• Alcohol and other depressants, and their effects.
• Stimulants, narcotics and hallucinogens, and their effects.
• How people get "hooked" on drugs and alcohol.
• Drug dependency.
• Alcohol and drug policies.
• Helping employees overcome substance abuse.
• and more.

Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course from the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library provides the most cost-effective training available today. The course features platform software which installs automatically, and comprehensive user's and trainer's guides. The course takes about 45 minutes to complete (depending on the employee), and is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood... and retained.

Also designed with the training manager in mind, all courses in the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library come with a complete learning management system (LMS) at no additional cost. Using this system, trainers can set up "pre" and "post" tests... establish log-in procedures... even define and set up curriculum for various job classes. The system also allows employee performance information to be collected and organized through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of recordkeeping and tracking reports... and has a database "import/export" feature, which permits information to be transferred to and from an external database (such as a company's personnel database and/or another learning management system).

The course is one of over 100 titles currently available in the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library. Other interactive courses on safety and regulatory compliance topics (including Spanish language courses) are currently being developed and will be available soon.

Available in English.
