ALCO-Safe, a provider of workplace drug and alcohol testing equipment, recently announced the expansion of its services to include comprehensive employee wellness and addiction counselling programmes. This new initiative addresses the growing issue of drug and alcohol addiction in the workplace and society, particularly in South Africa. The new programme goes beyond simply detecting substance abuse; it offers proactive support to help employees identify and overcome addiction and create a healthier, more productive work environment. Rhys Evans, Managing Director of ALCO-Safe, states “We started this programme in June of this year because we recognised a gap in support for employees struggling with addiction. While our products help identify substance abuse, we believe a more holistic approach is necessary. By offering counselling and wellness training, we want to help empower employees to address the root causes of addiction and build a healthier work environment.” By offering employee wellness and addiction counselling services, ALCO-Safe creates a win-win situation for both employers and employees. Companies benefit from a healthier and more productive workforce with reduced absenteeism and a lower risk of accidents.
