Amid this global economic “crisis” or recession, as one might put it, companies are laying off employees and downsizing and some are even closing their doors. This is an important time to pay attention to the whole picture, because small portions of the global picture sure do appear bleak. However, when viewed against the world news and country specific data as a whole, it seems to make more sense, be less scary, and reassure us more firmly. After all, it is when investors and voters and citizens panic that economic downturns can really speed up. This is a situation where knowledge is power, and the more knowledge you have, the more powerful you feel. At Mediscreen, we very much agree with this moniker, and we put this statement to the test to the fullest extent of our abilities. For instance, in business, the more knowledge you have about your staff, the better prepared you are to make decisions about them and to exercise your power in a more effective manner.
Enter drug and alcohol testing.
In fact, companies may not have an desire to measure all the information about their employees which is actually available to them. They may only wish to utilize the bare minimum of information gathering in order to successfully stay afloat in rising waters. Fortunately, onsite drug and alcohol screening offers a much better perspective on how to deal with potential problems and solutions than, say, interviewing, assessing or even gathering subjective information about people based upon their managers’ reviews. Drug screening offers a really effective and scientifically viable way to analyze the “stress” handling of your employees.
And, if you can effective manage this information, then cutting costs in your business expenses is a fairly easy and understood task.
For this reason, Mediscreen would like you to know that the cost of onsite drug and alcohol screening is more than repaid by the data, or information, which you collect about your employees. The cost of workplace drug testing more than makes up for the ability you then have to manage the cost cutting you do after your testing.
