The Vyturys Group comprises three agricultural companies – Vyturys, Kontvainiai, and Bridimekso Veislininkystės Ferma. Their core business includes pig breeding and farming for both reproduction and meat production. The group’s activities are based on modern technologies and high animal welfare and livestock management standards.
To ensure smooth operations and safeguard both animal welfare and employee safety, the Vyturys Group decided to implement the Worksober system. This solution now helps manage the workflows of 60 employees, coordinate activities across facilities, and maintain accountability and compliance with occupational safety and biosecurity standards.
Case Study
How the Vyturys Group Implemented Preventive Sobriety Control and Improved Workplace Safety Across Its Operations
Why the Organization Chose Worksober?
The organization frequently encountered cases where employees arrived at work under the influence of alcohol or consumed alcohol during working hours. These situations caused stress for supervisors, disrupted workflows, and negatively affected team morale. Sobriety control was unreliable and inconsistent — managers found it challenging to balance company interests with employee rights, especially given limited legal guidance.
The group defined clear goals:
- Reduce risks related to employee intoxication.
- Improve operational planning and scheduling.
- Ensure accurate and automated time tracking.
- Maintain strict biosecurity standards across all facilities.
How Worksober Helped?
By choosing a mobile Worksober device, the company established a policy requiring all employees to complete sobriety checks both upon arrival and before leaving work — with no exceptions. This approach simultaneously ensures:
- consistent sobriety control,
- accurate working time registration,
- compliance with biosecurity protocols.
The system operates fully autonomously, requiring no additional human supervision. All data is recorded automatically, and managers can access information in real time when needed.
Results
After implementing the Worksober system, the Vyturys Group observed significant improvements across all subsidiaries:
- A sharp decrease in alcohol-related incidents and unexcused absences.
- Improved team relations and collaboration.
- More predictable and efficient planning due to reduced disruptions.
- Sobriety testing became a daily routine, encouraging employees to act responsibly and manage their habits proactively.
- Enhanced access control and biosecurity compliance — ensuring only authorized, sober staff enter production areas.
Summary
The Worksober system helped the Vyturys Group establish a clear, effective, and autonomous sobriety control process. This transformation reduced organizational risks, simplified work planning, and strengthened ongoing compliance with biosecurity requirements.
“In our organization, a sober employee is no longer the exception — and this achievement was made possible thanks to the Worksober system. It helped us build a culture of sobriety at work and beyond, improving employees’ awareness and responsibility. By encouraging smarter alcohol consumption habits, the system reduces risks, supports managers, and enhances operational efficiency. We’re very satisfied with the Worksober system and team — their quick technical support ensures uninterrupted control at all times.”
