BAI Foundation & Safehaven at Shangri-La Mactan
Battle Against Ignorance Foundation and Safehaven Recovery Village are truly grateful for the trust given by the prestigious Shangri-la, Mactan.
Our mission is to “battle the ignorance” and educate their employees to make them aware of the dangers of substance abuse. Being “aware” is the best deterrent. Here are very important facts ALL business establishments must be aware of:
The Dangers of Substance Abuse in the Workplace:
Alcohol and drug abuse by employees cause many expensive problems for business and industry ranging from lost productivity, injuries, and an increase in health insurance claims.
Problems Caused in the Workplace:
In addition to deaths and accidents, absenteeism and loss of production, other problems that alcohol and drug abuse can cause on the job include:
• Tardiness/sleeping on the job
• Hangover or withdrawal affecting job performance
• Poor decision making
• Loss of efficiency
• Theft
• Lower morale of co-workers
• Increased likelihood of having trouble with co-workers/supervisors or tasks
• Preoccupation with obtaining and using substances while at work, interfering with attention and concentration
• Illegal activities at work including selling illicit drugs to other employees
• Higher turnover
• Training of new employees
• Disciplinary procedures
Thank you Lord for blessing us with the opportunity to share our experience to others. Thank you to my co-speakers Emmanuel Llenos Minnie Lagria Renniel Jun Kong Bermejo Sitoy Canizares and “Berta”.
