Drug abuse is an epidemic in our society with no end in sight. It leads to premature deaths, and it tears families apart. As an employer, you have a fiduciary responsibility to your employees and your clients to maintain a safe and drug-free workplace. Employees under the influence of drugs are statistically more likely to miss work, steal, or be involved in a workplace accident. A pre-employment screening is standard procedure for most high stakes jobs, and a random screening program is an effective way to protect your investment in your employees on a long-term basis. Many companies also provide health care benefits and assistance for employees who are struggling with drug and alcohol programs.
