Transcript of Employees Opinion about Drug Testing in the Workplace Program
They are all aware about
the benefits or advantages
of the procedure
including:
Saving the company from any possible danger and
circumstances
On the other hand, employers must
also be aware about the
disadvantages that drug testing can
bring. The applicant or employee who
will be screened will be the most
affected for this procedure.
The primary downside to a drug free in theworkplace regulation is that workers commonlydisagree to the random drug testing substancethat exists in various programs. Employers whoprefer to implement the drug testing methodmust be subtle and sensitive to the fact thatmost employees visualize drug testing asintrusive and a clear evidence of a lack ofemployer trust.
Rivals of drug testing are certain that non-
substance users are exposed to ill-treatment
because of the activities of some employees.
Employees may sense that their confidentiality is being occupied and
that what they do outside of the workplace is not their employer’s
concerns.
Being positive in drug test does not mean that the employee was not credible at work or cannot perform his/her obligations just that they used an illegal drugs within the time restrictions that
the test checked.
Employees are anxious that the off-work use
of drugs or alcohol may carry the same
penalties to an employee as would be applied
to an employee who uses illegal drugs inside
the workplace.
Therefore, if you do make
random drug testing as
part of your company’s
policy, make sure you
treat your employees with
formality and respect their
privacy.
