What are the benefits of instituting and enforcing drug-free policies in the workplace?
• Employers who strive to create a drug-free work environment may qualify for reductions in the costs of certain types of insurance, including Worker’s Compensation Insurance among others. • Workplaces that have these programs in place report higher morale among employees as well as increased health status and less frequent use of medical programs and benefits by both the employees and their family members. • Decreased rates of turnover, absence, tardiness, theft, and accidents; and increases in productivity are additional benefits of implementing and enforcing alcohol- and drug-free workplaces.
