Business Intervention

When you have a "key" employee or executive, who's performance or behavior is negatively impacting your company or organization...

When morale is suffering and coworkers or staff feel as if the situation is hopeless... it is appropriate for you to do something.

  • According to research, in a company of 5,000, 15 of its 250 top executives are alcoholics or addicts,
  • 10% of highly placed executives are drug- or alcohol-impaired,
  • also, drinking increases among women working in non-traditional, male-dominated occupations.
  • In addition, an average industry company of 1000 in SD, has 111 employees that are problem drinkers. Minnesota has 103 average, Iowa has an 82 average, and Colorado averages 118. (Alcohol Cost Calculator)

It doesn't just affect the addict:

  • Sixty percent of newly recovering executives say that their fellow executives protected them while they were drinking,
  • 90% of alcoholic executives stated that their fellow executives found it necessary to come in early, stay late, or work on weekends to compensate,
  • 75% of newly recovering executives say that their secretaries or administrative assistants conducted elaborate cover-up operations to camouflage their drinking.
  • In addition, a company of 1000 in SD, their employees will have 157 family members who qualify as problem drinkers. (Alcohol Cost Calculator)

Executive addiction is one of the most untreated and treatable problems. Compared to other subpopulations, executives and professionals show rather astounding success rates.
