I'm not sure this is a systematic issue vs a workplace by workplace issue. Certainly some companies have a lot more of a drink focused culture than others. Additionally, some teams (lookin' at you, Sales) have the stereotype of having that kind of environment.
As far as addressing drinking, I think the thing to tackle is being compassionate and empathetic to all sorts of issues, not just alcohol abuse in particular. Do you have members on the team that have a disability? Do people practice a religion that requires quiet space throughout the day? How will you accommodate those people?
- squirrelicus 8y agoI think a key difference is that people are more than capable of doing their job while differently abled or differently religious. Alcoholics or those who choose to abuse alcohol in the workplace are not capable of doing their job.
