1. Addiction Campuses: Businesses Should Take Notes from
the UFC’s Handling of Jon Jones
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-
-Heads turned this past week when UFC light
heavyweight champion Jon Jones entered a
rehabilitation facility after cocaine was found
in his system. Even more shocking? The
UFC's decision to allow Jones to retain his
title.
"I am proud of Jon Jones for making the
decision to enter a drug treatment facility,"
UFC President Dana White said in a
statement on the organization's website. "I'm
confident that he'll emerge from this
program like the champion he truly is."
One of the most common mistakes employers make is firing their employees once they find they are
using. Not only are they giving up on a person's life and showing a lack of investment in their
employees, but they are making a costly decision that loses money from every angle. Help your
employees help themselves.
Be a part of the SOLUTION.
Here are some facts we gathered from employees who attended our programs:
Employees who struggled with alcohol addiction showed significant improvement in work
performance during the months immediately following an intervention to confront problem drinking
that was intruding in their work.
Employees who are encouraged into treatment by their employers are more likely to recover from
their alcoholism and improve their performance.
Research indicates that alcoholism treatment can yield significant reductions in total health care
costs.
