Drugs in The Workplace
Company Training
The implementation of recently passed legislation in New Mexico emphasizes the importance of recognizing drug impairment in the workplace!
BRV Consulting is pleased to offer 4 and 8-hour classes geared towards supervisors in the field of recognizing drug impairment in the workplace.
Illicit drug use can cause challenges for employers when employees use drugs before or during work. When employees use drugs during non-work hours its effects tend to linger into their workday performance. Costs to employers associated with drug use and its after-effects can include decreased productivity, higher rates of workplace injuries, and more frequent absenteeism. Workers who are skipping work due to drug use are more likely to experience workplace conflict with a supervisor or peers. Such conflict may damage morale and create an uncomfortable work environment for other employees.
