Supporting Australian Workplaces with Expert Addiction Treatment Solutions

You know more than anyone that good employees are hard to find. When an employee is a clear asset to the company you will do everything you can to keep them around, even when workplace addiction is present. Unfortunately, addiction is a serious disease that does not discriminate and it affects all kinds of people from many walks of life. Approximately 8% of Australia’s population has had or currently has a drug or alcohol abuse problem, which equates to approximately 2 out of every 25 people – the chances that workplace addiction is affecting your company.

Recognising the Signs of Addiction in the Workplace

If you recognise the following behaviours or changes in an employee, it may be worthwhile to investigate further:

• Frequently calling in sick, especially when they cannot provide a doctor’s note, or seem perfectly fine the next day when they return to work.
• Showing up for work, especially after the weekend, extremely tired, irritable and/or moody.
• Regularly coming back from lunch slightly tipsy, resulting in boisterous or chatty behaviour which makes it difficult for others to get their work done.
• Changes in physical appearance, including showing up to work looking dirty or dishevelled, or wearing the same clothes to work two or more days in a row.
• Memory problems, clumsiness and/or an overall sluggishness often resulting in missed deadlines or tasks forgotten about completely.
