Educating Your Employees
In order to educate your employees about your business's stance on substance abuse and any program you may have, you need to:
- Tell new hires about the policy (orientation is a good place for this).
- Periodically remind current employees about your commitment to making the program work.
An education and awareness program can:
- Explain your policy to your employees and the consequences of using drugs, on or off the job.
- Tell your employees how to get help with their drug and alcohol problems.
- Inform employees on how drugs and alcohol actually affect the business's productivity, product quality, absenteeism, health care costs, or on-the-job injury rate.
- Explain testing procedures, if you have any, with special attention to the consequences of testing positive and procedures for ensuring accuracy and confidentiality.
