Employers who maintain alcohol- and drug-free workplaces do more than just protect their business assets &#8211; they contribute to the improved safety, health and well-being of their workforce. Employees benefit from knowing that a drug-free workplace program applies not only to them, but to all the coworkers and managers on whom their safety and security depends. Take a moment to consider the positive impact a drug-free environment has on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in drug-free environments have greater confidence that their workplaces are&nbsp;<strong>safe.&nbsp;<\/strong>Think about the construction contractor whose personal safety depends on his fellow workers being alert and focused at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in drug-free environments take comfort in knowing that their workplace is&nbsp;<strong>healthy.&nbsp;<\/strong>Consider the restaurant server who knows his own health won\u2019t be compromised because he has to work a double shift to cover for a colleague who regularly calls in sick due to a hangover.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in drug-free environments are reassured that their workplaces are&nbsp;<strong>productive.&nbsp;<\/strong>Think about the high-tech worker who knows he won\u2019t miss an important deadline because he\u2019s covering for a colleague whose output lags due to drug abuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in drug-free workplaces are pleased to be part of a team that gets the job done and enjoy the benefits of higher&nbsp;<strong>morale.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Picture the nurse who arrives for work each day with the knowledge that the level of patient care won\u2019t suffer due to a coworker\u2019s abuse of alcohol or other drugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in drug-free workplaces appreciate that their employer\u2019s policies make them more&nbsp;<strong>Secure. C<\/strong>onsider the electronics store sales associate who doesn\u2019t worry that the cash register she shares will be short at the end of the day because a coworker steals to support a drug habit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Well-Being<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in drug-free workplaces feel an enhanced sense of&nbsp;<strong>well-being.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Think about the accountant who worked hard to achieve recovery and finds that his supportive work environment plays an important role in his continued sobriety and success.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/50298"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faqs"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/50298\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldrugscreening.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
