Weekly Roundup: Alcohol, Out-of-Pocket $, Domestic Violence

Another week, another tour around the health and wellness blogosphere, for some sobering news, all around:

HR Benefits Alert discusses the sky-high cost of having just one employee with a drinking problem—estimated at some $35,000 a year—and what your company can do about it.

The Virginian-Pilot gives employees something to NOT look forward to in ‘09: Out-of-pocket health care expenses are expected to rise, across the nation, next year.

And our friends over at HR Web Café look at the recent spike in domestic violence, and it’s very real impact on the workplace.

So read up, get prepared and then go out and do something cheerful and uplifting this weekend!

In good health,

Fiona
