Drug-Free Work Week Spotlight: Drug-Free Workplaces are Vital to Business!
In recognition of Drug-Free Work Week, the National Drug-Free Workplace Alliance celebrated with drug-free workplace themes each day.
Today, the National Drug Free Workplace Alliance and Drug Free Business are emphasizing the ongoing importance of drug-free workplace programs to businesses, especially in these trying times. It is essential that employers provide a strong message to all workers that drugs negatively impact workers' productivity and the company's bottom line. Here are some points to remember:
o People with substance use disorders may be particularly susceptible to COVID-19,
o Over 75% of employers have been affected in some way by employee opioid use.
o The employee drug testing positivity rate is at its highest in 16 years - 28% higher than the thirty-year low 10 years ago.
