People can talk about how efficiently they work in any job interview or to any friend. However, efficiency is subjective and you never really know how efficient someone is until you see them in action.
Businesses operate the same way.
You never really see how efficient a business is until you see it in action.
Workplace drug testing is one of the most efficient machines operating within any company. It evaluates employees for any signs of alcohol or drug abuse, it provides scientific reporting to the head of the company about said abuse, and it results in enough information being available to make careful, thoughtful decisions about which employees are doing well and which are falling behind. Often test results are evaluated in conjunction with performance reviews. Someone can have an excellent performance review, but since their drug screening results have turned up positive twice so far, they are not considered to be a very reliable or stable employee.
Some employees who are abusing substances say that if their performance review is good, then their drug screening results should not be counted, and that the company is being biased about implementing drug and alcohol testing.
Workplace drug testing exists to help employees perform well at their jobs and to help them work well together. A compromised individual can offend or put their coworker in danger, and they can do the same to clients. All of this is not to even mention the legal aspect of the situation. If your employee causes an injury while on their way home from your business, your business can be held liable for their public intoxication or for them being high. This is where workplace drug testing laws enter in.
If you want to know how efficient a business really is, allow them to use onsite drug and alcohol screening, and see if their efficiency improves at all. For the most part, it will, anyway. Drug screening really aids in detecting low performers who are well adapted to staying in the background and not being seen very often. Onsite drug and alcohol testing is well adapted to ferreting people out who are engaging in illicit behavior while at your place of work. Call Mediscreen today: (+61) 1300 79 70 40.
