Purpose and Goal

As a recipient of federal grants, GBH is required to maintain a drug free workplace.  Moreover, GBH is committed to protecting the safety, health and well-being of all employees and other individuals in our workplace. We recognize that alcohol abuse and drug use pose a significant threat to our goals. We have established a drug-free workplace program that balances our respect for individuals with the need to maintain an alcohol and drug-free environment.

Our drug-free workplace program consists of:                     

...

• GBH maintains resources for employees to learn about substance abuse, and posts informative materials in areas frequented by employees;
• GBH plans to offer workplace seminars or other learning opportunities to employees concerning substance abuse; and
• GBH, through its partnership with St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center, provides employees the opportunity to participate in substance abuse programs offered by St. Elizabeth’s Hospital.

Prevention

Prevention is critical to ensuring employee safety and a drug-free workplace.  To prevent drugs in the workplace and minimize substance abuse, GBH provides employees several tools:

• Health insurance plans offered by GBH cover mental health, which includes counseling and other treatment options;
• Through GBH’s partnership with St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center, employees may participate in support groups and substance abuse programs that the hospital offers.

Manager Training

Managers can play a key role in helping prevent substance abuse by watching for signs that an employee may need help.  GBH is committed to providing training to managers to help them recognize behavior that may indicate substance abuse or that an employee is at risk and know how to help.

...

• Encourage employees to seek help if they are concerned that they or their family members may have a drug and/or alcohol problem;
• Encourage employees to utilize the services of qualified professionals in the community to assess the seriousness of suspected drug or alcohol problems and identify appropriate sources of help;
• Offer all employees assistance with alcohol and drug problems through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP);
• Allow the use of accrued paid leave while seeking treatment for alcohol and other drug problems;
• Offer employees health insurance plans that cover treatment for substance abuse;
• Offer employees the opportunity to participate in substance abuse and support programs offered by St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center through our partnership with it; and
• Treat information received by the Foundation through the drug-free workplace program as confidentially as practicable under the circumstances, restricting access to this information to those who have a legitimate need to know, in compliance with relevant laws and management policies.
