Employee Education
Value
The best thing about a good substance abuse prevention program is the fact that it is equally beneficial for employers and employees. Supportive measures through education guarantee that employees will more readily accept the policy. Studies have shown that employees that are educated on the company’s policy are 3 times less likely to produce a positive drug or alcohol test result. If the program benefits are successfully communicated, it can:
- Motivate employees to support the program
- Educate them on the trends and fact concerning drug abuse
- Provide an understanding of the negative impacts of substance abuse at work and at home
- Serve as a meaningful deterrent for substance abuse
- Lower discrimination, retaliation, and harassment
- Have the courts look favorably at your policy and program
