The Ark for Business, which aims to reduce drug and alcohol abuse within hospitality, will be offering confidential and free consultations at Hotelympia.
With drug and alcohol misuse a serious problem across the industry this is the perfect opportunity to have your business assessed free of charge.
The Ark for Business is a branch of industry charity Hospitality Action. It aims to uncover and assist with drug and alcohol excess which are often disguised by individuals or unrecognised by managers. As well as the human costs, the effects on a business can be profound as it impacts on customer experience, profitability, morale, safety and company reputation.
Since 2007, the organisation has helped over 50 leading hospitality employers implement best practice in managing the risk of alcohol and drug misuse. The service helps to create a climate where problems are less likely to occur, but if they do occur, are managed efficiently with the right balance between providing help and maintaining standards.
Ken Crosland of The Ark for Business says: “In hospitality problems originate in many ways – employees partying hard after work; a stressed manager increasingly reliant on the bottle at the end of another hard day; the lonely individual, far from home and family. The Ark for Business aims to help employers become aware of these issues and offers guidelines on how to handle them.”
The Ark for Business advises many leading hospitality employers – from The Goring and Red Carnation Hotels, to Soho House Group and Caprice Holdings – on workplace alcohol and drug issues. If you have questions or need advice managing this issue, please drop by stand N2755
for a confidential and free consultation with Ken Crosland.
