Program Summary

This presentation will explain why and how employees who are under the influence of a controlled substance cause damage to an organization, both financially and culturally, and are a liability that the employer can’t afford.  We will provide details on how to build a process and policy, train management/supervisors, communicate to employees, and will discuss options available once an employee has been tested and found positive.  Specific tools, along with examples of how (and how not) to handle various scenarios will be presented.
