On one end of the job spectrum, there are the highly creative, non-laborious, ultra-fast-paced jobs which are perfect for those who enjoy mental and relational challenges and for those who are creative and intrinsically motivated. On the other end of the job spectrum, there are the labor-intensive, highly repetitive, mentally unobtrusive jobs which satisfy a need for security, patterns, and regular routine. Most jobs fall in between these two extremes, featuring little bits of both sides, but the study and understanding of the is actually really helpful.
First, we learn that creative work is also preferred by people who enjoy change and can most easily adapt to their environment. In fact, this type of job is usually loved by people who crave the need to adapt. If they do not have this challenge, they move on to new and better pastures.
Second, we learn that the labor intensive work is preferred by people who enjoy to think while they are working, rather than thinking TO work. They enjoy doing things with their hands while they allow their mind to wander and consider different things. These individuals typically have steady, reliable personalities which are pampered by steady, reliable work. Risk and change and fluctuating job opportunities are less desirable to these individuals, because they enjoy something solid in their worlds while they make changes in other parts of their lives.
In either case, the balance of need for employees and their job satisfaction is horribly disrupted by outside negative influences such as drug abuse and alcoholism which make their way on to the jobsite. Unfortunately, this is not as well regulated in companies as others, and this may cost the business many thousands of dollars every year because these disruptions and employee turnover are causing so much damage and costing so much money to replace.
Onsite drug and alcohol screening is useful for employees, no matter what their preference or job type is. In this way, you can evaluate everyone in your company, from top to bottom and in all sections or divisions, and this enables you to reap the best of productivity from the staff you do have.
