The office has both spoken and unspoken rules about employee behavior, professional conduct, and appropriate reactions to negative feedback. One of these unspoken rules is to never show up to work inebriated or under the influence of drugs. This not only compromises the efforts of the business to move forward, but it puts both coworkers and clients in danger because the individual in question is not in full control of their own mind. Whatever discretion or reason they might have is gone, not to return until the effects of the drugs wear off.
Office policies almost always include clauses regarding what to do if an employee is suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. One of the ways that many businesses deal with this is to implement employee drug and alcohol testing, so that anyone who is abusing sporadically is still likely to be caught.
Office politics can result in an employee being accused falsely of abusing substances when in fact the accuser is simply wishing to unleash their anger upon the suspect. With workplace drug testing and alcohol breathalyser tests, your company can find out for sure what is going on, and dispel rumors which are not true, and hold false accusers accountable for their own actions.
It is important to know and understand teamwork in a business environment, and it is necessary to maintain control over your organization, even if it is next to impossible to maintain control over individual employees. Systems can be managed, but people cannot. Onsite drug and alcohol testing brings the process a step closer by allowing you to schedule mobile testing from our services in Australia, and then get back to work. This is saves time, money and energy spent on going to a testing laboratory. Your employees have work to do and private lives to get back to, and your business has better things to do than to spend extra time and money on unnecessary laboratory testing. If onsite tests results show a possibility of abuse, then those specific tests can be retaken in a laboratory, narrowing down the possible abusers to just a few people.
