Awareness Sessions
Policy Development: One-on-one assistance is available from our Workplace Services Consultants. As well, a self-directed "Policy Development Workbook" can assist you in your policy development. Crisis Intervention: When an employee is in crisis, sometimes conferring with AFM's Workplace Consultants helps to clarify the most appropriate process. We are here to answer your questions and offer necessary resources. Workplace Interventions: Supervisors can often recognize problems, but either lack the skills, or do not have the confidence to intervene. AFM's Workplace Interventions addresses this need through practical training programs, emphasizing skill development. The training offers a simple 4-step process for meeting with employees to directly address performance issues, resolve them, and direct employees to assistance if necessaryEmployee alcohol and drug use hurts morale, productivity and the bottom line. Some leaders don't intervene because they don't know what to do. They may question their own judgment about what they see and what they believe. These one hour awareness/information sessions are designed to raise awareness and inform employees and leaders about general issues. They can be customized to your needs. Suggested topics are:

Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Assessments A SAP assessment is a comprehensive alcohol and drug assessment that includes recommendations for education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare. SAP assessments can only be completed by a certified SAP counsellor as outlined by the DOT. There is a fee charged for completing a SAP assessment. SAP assessments are completed in accordance with the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. These are conducted when an employee tests positive for alcohol or drug use. SAP assessments are also completed for non-DOT companies who have an alcohol and drug policy that requires a SAP assessment following a violation of the company alcohol and drug policy. These are typically companies whose employees perform safety sensitive responsibilities. For further information on drug testing or SAP assessments phone 944-6395 or email: drugtesting@afm.mb.ca |
