1. Background and context
PART I
2. IMPACT OF ALCOHOL ON THE WORKPLACE AND PRODUCTIVITY:
2.1 Could alcohol impair productivity?
2.2 Where does lost productivity feature in social cost studies?
2.3 Does becoming unemployed impact on alcohol-related harm?
2.4 Is heavy drinking related to unemployment?
2.5 Does heavy drinking lead to absenteeism?
2.6 Does heavy drinking lead to presenteeism?
2.7 Isn’t there some evidence that low amounts of alcohol are good for productivity, at least as measured by wages?
2.8 How important is alcohol's impact on the productivity of people other than the drinker?
2.9 Are there any particular occupations that seem to be worse for alcohol-related harm?
2.10 Can the workplace, itself, lead to alcohol-related harm?
3. REDUCING THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF ALCOHOL ON THE WORKPLACE:
3.1 Can changing the work environment lead to less alcohol-related harm?
3.2 Do counselling-based interventions at work have an impact?
3.3 Do peer support programmes have an impact?
3.4 Do web-based feedback programmes prevent alcohol-related harm?
3.5 Does mandatory screening or testing reduce harm?
3.6 Are alcohol programmes better implemented as part of overall health promotion programmes?
3.7 What is the overall assessment of the evidence for workplace based interventions?
3.8 How could the existing evidence-base be bettered?

Résumé :
The report summarises the most recent scientific evidence on the linkages between harmful drinking and productivity or employment, and on the workplace as a locus for addressing harm from alcohol. The report also looks at concrete workplace interventions.
The opportunities for action identified in the report extend to parties beyond the Alcohol and Health Forum, including to European businesses and organisations representing their employees, for whom it is hoped the report can serve as a resource for further work.
