Statistics show that probably half of today’s workforce is affected in some way by drugs or alcohol. Employees’ behavior, performance and attitude is affected when they have a problem with drugs or alcohol and their behavior has an impact on their colleagues. As an employer it is wise in this day and age to ensure a drug-free workplace program is implemented consisting, of prevention, education and drug testing. Employers are seeing highly trained, educated and experienced workers lose their families, their careers, and their future to substance abuse. Employees who use drugs and abuse alcohol are more likely to be absent from work (especially for extended periods of time), to be involved in accidents that may result in property damage, to be less productive, to be prone to steal from you and their colleagues, and to lack the ability to think clearly or react quickly.
