Majority of business firms and companies, both large and small, have administered pre-employment and random drug testing not just because it is a government or state regulation but more so because of the advantages of implementing these tests. The campaign for drug-free workplace benefits not just the company but its employees and clients as well. Many businesses have suffered from significant decrease in employee productivity and increased workplace accidents and injury because they have neglected the importance of conducting drug tests.
Drug abuse also results to an increase in employees’ medical claims and workers’ compensation payouts. Frequent payouts would then result to an increase in premiums paid by the company due to medical and workers’ compensation coverage. Thus, companies end up losing more than what they are earning.
In addition, employee drug abuse leads to increased absenteeism and greater number of ‘sick leaves’ days, which can affect company operations and production. While on the job, they can cause more product defects, miss on important deadlines, incomplete project tasks or produce inaccurate work. Employee theft from the company or even from fellow employees also increases due to the abuser’s need to support the habit. In addition, employee equipment damage and loss are also inevitable, along with the threat to other employees’ safety.
That is why companies are now taking time and making the effort to adopt and implement company-wide drug abuse policies, extensive drug-abuse education and awareness programs, drug testing procedures and employee assistance and rehabilitation programs. With regards to drug testing programs, companies also conduct post-employment testing that includes random testing, individualized suspicion testing, post-accident testing and testing required by certain industries like those from the Department of Transportation.
