Description

Problems associated with alcohol and drugs use are common in a wide variety of workplaces across all sectors. They can be very difficult to deal with because of the complexities involved. This course examines common features of such problems and offers guidance on how to rise to the challenges involved.

There are no simple or straightforward solutions, but having a better understanding of the issues involved places managers and HR professionals in a much stronger position when it comes to wrestling with the difficulties presented.

The tendency in some organizations to not pay attention to such problems and simply hope they will go away is a very unwise strategy that can lead to a vicious circle in which problems related to the use of alcohol and drugs lead to other problems (conflict, substandard work, deadlines not being met, health and safety problems, and so on). These in turn can put additional pressures on any worker who is misusing alcohol or drugs, potentially leading to an even greater reliance on such substances.

Without a good understanding of the key issues involved, efforts to address the problems are unlikely to produce positive results. This course therefore serves as important basis for addressing alcohol and drugs problems in the workplace.

  • Managers and HR professionals across all sectors

Requirements

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
