When one lives in a poor neighborhood, one is more likely to notice that the air tends to be different in this area. There is more pollution, on average, more waste smells, and more unhealthy breathing than in well brought out neighborhoods which can afford to set standards on how nice the area is. Clean air gives hope. Clean air shows people that they can look forward to the future, without worrying about the past. There is a spirit to having clean air around which really helps lift your mood.
When it comes to drug screening, any business will tell you that there are certain areas of the city where drug testing is more likely to yield positive results. That does not mean that poor areas are automatically more likely to produce drug addicts. Instead, it speaks to the quality of lifestyle and the necessity to create an escape from a poor quality of life by engaging in drug abuse. In fact, wherever the living conditions are poor, people are far more likely to engage in drug and alcohol abuse than in other locations, since their basic human needs are not being met fully.
When looking at your business, you can see that something as simple as setting a higher standard is the best way to ensure that your employees are the happiest and perform their work in the most productive method possible. Setting higher standards regarding business location, quality of working conditions, and even who is hired all have widespread consequences on your workers.
Workplace drug testing is often implemented, and in some ways less needed, in companies which set these high standards. Alcohol testing is less necessary because it is part of these high standards and therefore it sets a minimum level of expectation as to when and where an appropriate time to drink is. Workplace drug testing laws are not the only things which factor into a company’s decision to implement drug and alcohol testing. The better cared-for businesses realize that these expectations really do have an effect upon behavior and upon better hiring decisions.
