We're not going to tolerate your behavior anymore. Come in, as David always talks about, qualify them, make sure they're in the right place, help them understand the problem, the three-part illness, and then tell them about the solution.
How should employers handle alcoholism in the workplace? In this episode of 'Purpose of this Book - Intensive Big Book Study', hosts David G, Nancy F, Mark B, Minor A, and others dive into the 'To Employers' section of the Big Book (pages 146-150) to address this critical issue. They explore the concept of alcoholism as a three-part illness, stressing the importance of qualifying employees for support rather than rushing to punitive measures.
Through a mix of personal stories and practical advice, the hosts discuss why understanding and empathy are crucial in offering a real chance for recovery. They caution against the instinct to fire employees struggling with alcoholism, advocating instead for a fair and balanced approach. The episode is filled with insights on the transformative power of recovery programs and the unique challenges faced by employers.
Whether you're an employer, employee, or someone interested in recovery, this episode offers valuable perspectives on managing alcoholism in a work environment.
