Motivational Speaker Carole Spiers Says “Manchester “Super-casino” Highlights Rapidly Increasing Threat Of Gambling Addiction To Businesses
“What started as a simple bit of fun almost ended up costing me my life,” says one reformed gambler. “I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t pay my bills, and was constantly lying to cover up what I’d been doing, but I simply couldn’t stop.
“I used to steal money from my wife’s purse, and was making her and our family’s life an absolute misery. Fortunately a work colleague spotted that I had a problem and persuaded me to see a specialist counsellor. If he hadn’t, I might not be here today.”
To help employers deal with these issues, Carole Spiers Group operates a nationwide network of fully trained counsellors, capable of providing specialist advice on the best ways of tackling gambling addiction.
“If you suspect an employee is regularly engaged in internet gambling, use a performance review to draw attention to any concerns. Prior to this, talk to the employee about any stressors they are experiencing, as people can gamble when they see ‘no way out’, and an early intervention could resolve this,” says Motivational Speaker Carole Spiers.
“If their work appears to be suffering you should ensure regular appraisals, especially if jobs are not completed on time. If you find someone has been gambling online during work hours, use an informal warning, followed by a more formal approach if the problem persists. And in extreme cases, seriously consider recommending the employee for help with their gambling addiction.”
