Workplace and Employee Drug Testing
Employers have increasingly become concerned about the negative consequences that occur to their businesses as a result of employees who abuse alcohol or other drugs. Many have learned that people who have alcohol or other drug problems are less productive, use sick leave more often, and are more likely to injure themselves or others on the job. Considering that 70 percent of all illegal drug users in the United States are employed, businesses are justified in their concern.
At the same time, the workplace is an effective place to reach people with prevention, intervention, and treatment information. Employers have made great strides with various approaches including such activities as employee and family education programs, work site wellness programs, and alcohol and drug-free workplace policies and procedures. Employers who have taken effective measures and who have made the work site less tolerant to substance abuse and misuse have reaped positive benefits such as increased productivity and employee morale. And the benefits extend from beyond the workplace to communities and families.
The benefits of investing in workplace prevention are great. It is our hope that the resources listed in this guide will provide employers, prevention specialists, human resource professionals, and anyone who is interested in prevention efforts in the workplace with resources that will help guide them in making this valuable investment in not only increasing productivity but in improving the lives of employees and their families.
