The survey looked at costly counter pro- <br /> <br /> ductive behavior such as theft, unsafe work practices, absenteeism, poor <br /> customer service. Results show that substance abusers were much more <br /> likely than non-abusers to engage in counterproductive behavior such as <br /> stealing, being absent or late for work, acting unsafely on the job, and <br /> breaking house rules (see Drug and Alcohol Use excerpt). <br /> <br /> <br /> We support any efforts which curve the availability of drugs within <br /> the workplace and community. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Count'.
