First Choice is proud to be Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator, and we offer every conceivable lab test at our southwest Little Rock testing center. You can always expect industry-leading turnaround times on drug and alcohol testing, and we keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of all testing results. And if your applicants will be responsible for company assets or working in a prominent customer-facing role, we also offer pre-employment background checks!
Random drug testing is a standard operating procedure at many large companies, and it’s a great way to keep good, hardworking employees honest. People who use illegal recreational drugs are statistically more likely to steal, be chronically absent or tardy, or be involved in a workplace accident, and you have a fiduciary responsibility to your company and its stakeholders to keep drugs out of the workplace. And the good news is that it’s just as easy to implement a random testing program at a small business as it is at a large corporation!
Pre-employment drug testing is a standard part of the onboarding process for most companies, and the majority of our clients at First Choice prefer sending their new hires to our lab for testing because it’s the most cost-effective option. No company is ever too small for a random drug testing program, and it only takes minutes to set up your account. We also offer reasonable suspicion training to help your managers and supervisors determine when a drug test is warranted. We keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of our lab tests and offer industry-leading turnaround times on all testing results.
