- It will present supervisors and managers with convincing evidence that drug-abuse does exist in the workplace. (Many supervisors and managers are either totally naive or in denial about this "taboo" subject because they simply don`t know "how" to deal with it. Our supervisor training teaches them EXACTLY "how" to do so.)
- It will underscore for them that, as company supervisors and managers, it is their duty and responsibility to you - their employer - to help prevent drug-abuse in their workplace and to personally support a Drug-Free Workplace company-wide.
- It will enable your supervisors and managers to more quickly, and accurately "identify" when an employee is abusing drugs or is under the influence of drugs (illicit OR legally prescribed) while on the job.
- It will empower your supervisors and managers to confidently address the issue of drug use and drug-abuse with an employee. Our supervisor training will give them direction on "how" to approach the employee and EXACTLY "what" to say to them. Supervisors and managers will be able to call for a "reasonable suspicion" drug test of a suspected employee in a manner which is legally defensible for your company- should such a defense later become necessary. Help supervisors gain knowledge and confidence to make reasonable suspicion determinations. Fulfill the reasonable suspicion supervisor training requirements.
