Employers are constantly dealing with their employees and issues that arise in the workplace. Such issues include substance abuse, alcohol abuse and addiction, which can negatively affect job performance and lead to devastating consequences. So what happens when these two worlds collide and an employer is faced with a substance-abusing employee? How can an employer set up an employee assistance program? Should drug testing be implemented? How do the state and federal governments address these issues and enforce workplace policies? And how can these entities better communicate and collaborate to effectively deal with this crisis? This broadcast will provide the viewers with effective workplace strategies to create and maintain a drug-free workplace.
