In the tale of Peter Pan, children who do not wish to grow up are taken to
Neverland, a magical place where nobody grows up and children can run and play as long as they wish, forever and ever.
When someone grows up in the body without being intelligent emotionally, then they often are only able to handle situations which are within the capacity of their internal age. For example, someone who never grew past the age of twelve may be great with children, but may rebel and become violent toward their teenage children. Someone who is the emotional age of sixteen may help their children through adolescence, help them get into college, and be able to support them in an ongoing manner, until their child needs some adult, grown-up advice. Then things can fall apart quickly for both parties.
The urge to return to a time when they were emotionally competent drives many adults to engage in mind altering substances and behaviors which allow them to relive their younger years without their own moral or shame judgment getting in the way. However, if you run or own a company, you need real and actual adults working for you, who are emotionally adept, competent, and wise.
This means that, necessarily, you will need to test these figures on your employees through the use of onsite drug and alcohol screening. Workplace drug testing laws protect many companies, and entire industries, but other businesses have a choice in the matter. These businesses often still choose to know and understand the emotional intelligence of their employees by evaluating their current use or lack of use of drugs and alcohol. This is the smart thing to do.
Drug screening enables a snapshot perspective into the most abusive behavior on the jobsite today. Onsite drug and alcohol screening can bring you these snapshots on the site of your business, freeing you up to continue working and allowing your employees to take far less time off of their duties. It is the best of both worlds.
