I really don’t think I’ll need to sell the idea to anyone that a drug free workplace is a much better environment for employees, customers, clients, and pretty much anyone important to the organization. However, if you do need some guidance, I’ve listed 6 reasons to keep your company drug free from USA Mobile Drug Testing. You’ll find those 6 points below.
As we’re all aware, much of the nation is currently going green, and it appears more and more employers are doing what they can do protect their workplace and their employees.
Karen Kitchen, with USA Mobile Drug Testing of Cleveland says “Now that marijuana legalization is sweeping the country, employers are becoming more proactive about workplace safety. Employers want to ensure workplace safety because they care about their employees, but they also want to stay within the law.”
The legalization of marijuana has brought up many tough to answer questions. It has left ownership, HR/Recruiting, and many industries wondering what their next move should be. In our last article, we shared our Q/A with David Bell, CEO of USA Mobile Drug Testing to shed some light for many of us who are confused.
6 Reasons a Drug Free Workplace Benefits Employees
- Reduced workplace accidents
- Increased productivity
- Lower workers comp costs
- Increased morale
- Reduced absenteeism
- Greater employee retention
Maybe the reasons listed are obvious, but can you tell me they aren’t critical factors benefiting your employees and also the success of your business? Sure, there may be an organization somewhere that can survive and accomplish much in the presence of such substances, but not every company can be that fortunate.
