For those new and up-and-coming businesses, there are several reasons why you need drug and alcohol testing on your jobsite. This is not just an advertisement for our company, but a support of the fine and noble art of employee drug and alcohol screening. You see, now that your company is created and busily operating at full volume, you do not want your newly hired employees to slow down your start-up momentum. Many businesses can lose this momentum when they are not properly maintained during the first few years.
Drug and alcohol testing eliminates questions about the biggest variable which you possess in your business: your people whom you have employed. Let’s face it, humans cannot be predicted very easily, and this is the one area which you will have the most difficulty regulating. Workplace drug testing eliminates the questions concerning unreliable or potentially threatening employees, so that you can get back to what you do best: growing and strengthening your company.
Employee drug testing also acts as a legal aid, when you are in a difficult position and must fire an employee or consider their dismissal. Scientific data, such as drug tests and alcohol breathalyser results, help to solidify your reasons for dismissal and uphold whatever your business decisions if the matter should ever be taken to court. Drug and alcohol screening is part of your legal process, so it is important to not overlook it simply because it does not seem to be immediately necessary. After all, how do you know that it isn’t until you see the results?
If you have never owned a business before, employee drug testing will enable you to understand when and where and after how many violations you should fire one of your workers. After all, you will have to exercise this responsibility in the future and having the data today will enable you to plan your company with more exactitude and refinement.
