Employer materials provide an overview of the components of an effective program, from the rationale to the details of implementation. This information can help employers decide what steps to take, the kinds of people to involve, and how to begin. The employee materials include a series of fact sheets that can be distributed, over time, as part of a continuing employee education effort. The fact sheets highlight the importance of a drug-free workplace, the effects of alcohol and other drugs on both job performance and family, and the health consequences of alcohol and other drug abuse. Employers can use the fact sheets as paycheck "stuffers," memos, home mailings, or as part of scheduled training sessions. Since supervisors have daily responsibility for monitoring employee performance, they can be an early warning system for spotting performance problems that could be due to alcohol and other drug use. The supervisor materials in this kit answer basic questions about drug-free workplace programs. They clarify the supervisor's role and responsibilities and offer suggestions for dealing with difficult situations.
