Corporate and Education Services

An increasing number of Philippine companies are developing comprehensive alcohol and drug policies. This trend is driven by consideration for the safety of employees and the public, as well as legal liabilities and responsibilities.

Safety Sensitive Assessments

Family Wellness Center contracts with companies to assess whether their employees have an alcohol/drug problem, whether they have attempted to deal with the problem, and whether they require treatment is conducted to determine an employee’s compliance with the agreed upon recovery program, as well as the client’s ability to function in safety sensitive situations.
Cooperation between unions, workplace supervisors, EAP representatives, employees and their treatment providers plays an important role in successful recovery. Family Wellness Center offers an Employee Assistance/Workplace Seminars to bring these people together. The seminar deals with problem employee issues, treatment, the recovery process, and the employer’s role in facilitating the employee’s return to work. The seminar includes a back-to-work planning session between the employer, the employee and the recovery counselor. This is an opportunity to review job performance, outline new expectations, and establish guidelines for reporting to the employer.
