BENEFITS OF A DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE

Companies that implement efficient drug-free workplace programs will typically

• Hire better employees
• SAVE on liability insurance
• Realize higher productivity
• Experience less turnover in employees
• Reduce employee absenteeism/sick time
• Improve employee safety
• Improve employee morale
• Reduce worker's compensation premiums while decreasing worker's compensation claims

America's businesses pay a high price for alcohol and drug abuse.  Some costs are; increased absences, accidents and errors-these are obvious.  Others, such as low employee morale and high illness rates, are less so, but the effects are equally harmful.

The liability of NOT having a DrugFree in the Workplace policy could cost YOU business.  Most businesses will not hire "contractors" or "independent" businesses without those companies having a policy in place!

No industry is free from the negative impact of substance abuse.  It decreases productivity, increases the number of accidents, hurts employee morale and blows holes through the company bottom line.

Here's a sobering thought for employers:  Almost 3 out of every 4 drug abusers are employed.  WOW! 

REMEMBER:  Drug abusers KNOW which Employer's DO NOT drug test and so the Employer's typically hire drug abuser's without knowing it! 

Past surveys of full-time employees indicate that the majority of workers believe their employers don't do enough to prevent substance abuse at work and wish they would do more.

Don't be "Short-Sided" and say "I don't care what they do on their days off."  Drug abusers do not leave their abuse at home or leave it at the door when they arrive to work. 

Numbers speak for themselves. Nearly 75 percent of all drug abusers are employed. Government studies reveal that 1 out of 6 workers has a drug problem and show that drug abusers, on average, cost an employer between $7,000 and $13,000 per employee ANNUALLY.

No business, regardless of size or location, is immune to the countless problems that alcohol and drug abuse can cause. 

Many service employers wrongly believe that substance abuse is a problem only in industries that have "safety sensitive positions", jobs requiring the operation of vehicles, machinery and tools.  However, the general service industry pays a high price for substance abuse.  It is the nation's largest employer of people in "security sensitive" positions, jobs through which employees have access to financial records, maintain confidential information or are privy to a company's ideas or product plans.  Mistakes made by employees impaired due to abuse of alcohol or other drugs have far reaching consequences.  In order to ensure the security and success of their enterprises, America's service employers must have workplaces that are alcohol and drug free.

Setting up a policy for pre-employment and random testing your employees for substance abuse can save costs from loss of productivity, theft, accidents, absenteeism, increased costs for worker's compensation and healthcare benefits, and the increased costs of liability insurance premiums.  AMDT can set up a testing program for you!
