The Benefits Of An Emotional Intelligence Leadership Training For Your Workplace

By Paul Ward


Drug-free workplaces are the best places to work at. It means that you will be surrounded by people who are fresh, healthy and ready to work. When you are surrounded by people who consume drugs, it becomes hard to trust them. There are many benefits to implementing an emotional intelligence leadership training for your workplace.

Education is key in many instances. It is easy to have a policy written but do people understand what it means? In some cases, no. Let alone not knowing where to find it and to expect people of this generation to read something lengthy is impossible. It is always good to have a dedicated person or team whose job is to educate staff on such issues so that they understand what is allowed and not allowed in the work environment.

Support rooms have worked very well in the past and continue to do so. The biggest reason for this is that it gives someone who is feeling troubled to get away for a few minutes and clear their minds. Whether they are feeling overwhelmed or brought a personal problem along with them to work, this is their escape. They can also take someone in with them to talk it out if they prefer.

These steps will work well but remember you still need a contract which states the laws of your business. The one being that no one can do as they please on the business property. This can come shooting back at you if you don t have it in place and employees can use it to get away with criminal activities.

As you would have a team building, you can also dedicate certain days for workshops and other activities which entail professionals coming to the business to speak about their personal experienced and motivating employees to stay away of toxic products. Remember that people prefer keeping this as a secret so when you provide solutions, they are more than happy to take it and blame it on a day of no work.

Unplanned substance abuse tests are done by many organizations. As long as they are in their right to have this, they basically get their lawyer to have a policy drawn and they can conduct this to anyone and any time, without anyone knowing when it will happen. This will help if staff want to carry through with their habit as they can easily get caught.

If you are not sure about which methods will work best, you can always get in touch with other companies who you know have such steps in place to keep their business free from this. Ask for a meeting and get their insights. You can also come with your ideas and discuss whether they think it will be successful and whether they have tried it before in the past.

Implementing such rules are never easy and the admin involved is even harder, however, at the end of it, you will reap the rewards.
